Hi, One legitimate reason is the split of companies. In some cases, IP space needs to be divided up. For example, company A splits up in AA and AB, and has a /20. Company AA may advertise the /20, while the new AB may advertise the top or bottom /21. I know of at least one worldwide e-commerce company that is in that situation.

There are sometimes legitimate reasons to have a covering aggregate with some more specific announcements. Certainly there's a lot of cleanup that many should do in this area, but it might not be the best approach to this issue.

A good start would be killing any /24 announcement where a covering aggregate exists.I wouldn't do this as a general rule. If an attacker knows networks are 1) not pointing default, 2) dropping /24's, 3) not validating the aggregates, and 4) no actual legitimate aggregate exists, (all reasonable assumptions so far for many /24's), then they have a pretty good opportunity to capture that traffic.

Seth approach could be an option _only_ if prefix has an aggregate exists && as origin are the same
