[db-wg] Route(6) objects

Did your ddos provider say that their upstreams required exact route6 
matches for your announcements?  The bgp session between you and your 
DDOS provider definitely won't require this, and the likelihood is that 
a covering /32 route6: object will be sufficient in many cases for your 
provider's providers.  I.e. you won't have serious connectivity problems 
if there aren't exact matches for your /48s.

In any event, this isn't really catered for in RPSL.  Some organisations 
implement strict filtering on route objects; others loose.  RPKI might 
be a better option, as it allows you to specify a prefix length range.  
See RFC 9319 for some suggestions.
