Slides for Ptomaine session

[Cleve Mickles]

I took a look at the remaining slides...The routing announcement 
wasn't a typo.  We generally trust the allocations we get from 
the registries and changed the BGP announcement when we received 
the update from the registry.  We have a strict inbound and 
outbound BGP filtering policy for our V6 peers to prevent
us/AOL from announcing things we should not.  

In the future, we should trust but verify what we get from the
registries.  We should have questioned the allocation when we
received it initially.  I'd be curious to know what caused them
to notice and correct our allocation?  Was it our annoucement 
or an internal audit?
