Khm... We had a case where we announced our anycast prefixes to our
upstream in Johannesburg and that upstream was a paying customer of a
large tier1 (that we all know... :( ) and due to the fact that that
tier1 received prefixes from a paying customer thye got higher
preference - so all of a sudden they started routing traffic from around
the world (that was inside their global network) to Johannesburg,
despite the fact that they received our prefixes from other places
around the world. Of course the latency went instantly up for everyone
outside South Africa :( Classic frozen potatoe routing.

No-export to that tier1 fixed the problem, but still...

Cheers, Jan
