To be clear I'm not saying it is inappropriate UBUNTU or RENU to have a GGC in their R&E route table, I think that is a great idea for them. However, what I am saying, is that Internet2 should not accept such routes from them. Furthermore, in most cases, we should not advertise such routes to them either. The intent of services like GGC, Akamai, and anycast generally, is to service users as topologically close as possible. Accepting these routes from other NRENs into the Internet2 R&E route table, which most participants local-pref over regular Internet routes, or advertising these routes to other NRENS, defeats that intent and degrades Internet performance, which runs counter to Internet2's goals.

In the case of GGC and Akamai for sure, it would be more effective for Internet2 work with Google and Akamai to get service node placed in developing NRENs than to provide routing for these services. 

Thanks.

In the same vein, I noticed last week that CUDI was leaking PNWGP and CENIC routes (and perhaps others) into the R&E network.  The result was a likely violation of Internet2 AUPs and not just bad routing practices.  The Internet2 NOC put a filter in at least for those ASNs and was reaching out to CUDI.  This was probably the result of broken configuration because the AS paths were "11537 CUDI X Y CUDI Z".

FYI, I just sent the following note the Internet2 NOC.  I think we need a set of ASNs that should not be accepted from other NRENs, This should include things like GGC nodes, DNS Root Server anycast nodes, AS112 nodes, global transit providers, etc...

There are several HE(AS6939) routes being leaked into the R&E route table.

Subject: RENU advertising GGC node
To: Internet2 NOC < <mailto:>>


RENU is advertising a GGC node via UBUNTU into the Internet2 R&E route table. Please stop accepting these routes from them. As these routes are in the R&E route table they were overriding at least one route (104.237.191.0/24 <http://104.237.191.0/24>) I learn from a GGC node in Minneapolis. I have dealt with this in my local route policy, but I suspect others may have an issue too.

Note AS36040 is the ASN Google uses for GGC nodes;
