I think it would be really nice to have a BCP document to point people at - on the other hand it would require quite some amount of peer pressure to make it effective. I've been complaining to my non-aggregating peers regularily, and it just does not do any difference - usually those that deaggregate the worst are also those that don't even respond to the e-mails... Of course I could de-peer them - but then I still have the prefixes in my routing table, just have to pay for transit traffic. Nothing much gained, not much pressure built. The only thing that would work is if a significant number of peers would decide to block these prefixes (*and* the aggregates, otherwise there's not much gain), actually causing more hurt at the de-aggregating ISP's customers than towards their own... What a mess.
