[members-discuss] Our AS is in a macro that we don't authorize.

    I have to agree with Karl.  
    
    I also have some AS-SETS in the RIPEDB that we use for RPSL stuff that we feed into a routeserver of an IXP for instance.. with whom we don't want to peer with .. it works as an exclude list.  
    
    The list isn't used for providing transit or telling others that they can find them in our AS cone ... so doing authorisations on them or other stuff would break things in our case.. 
    
    Depending of the usage, it will give a different result.  
    
    Regards,
    Erik Bais

        Hi,
        
        I do understand your concerns, but:
        also your AS number shows up in someone elses AS-SET is does not mean any traffic being routed anywhere.
        This is mainly a documentational and a possible security issue (also no harm seems to be done by now).
        AS24748 seem to have 106 Peers - far away from the "thousands".
        The macro: AS24748:AS-THINX contains about every single active AS-Number i know of (at least the first 10 of 15 that came into my mind were in there).
        So there guy's built a fancy and completely useless macro - maybe they shouldn't consider their upstream to be their customers.
        Anyhow - forget about them or try to make them clean up their mess - but I don't think this mailinglist might be able to help you any further.
        
        Kind regards
         Karl

        I want my traffic routed where I want it.
        
        I'm not a member of that IX and if you're routing traffic through this
        IX, it's being a latency problem (my servers are a far away from that
        IX, +60 ms) and possibly a hijaking security problem.
