This thread made me check. 14 prefixes. I thought it was 6. I have no memory of creating 8 of these. This is how it happens isn't it.
Poll: how many prefixes do you announce? Be honest.

This. I found a /24 last month that was announced to a provider we stopped paying in 2021. Somehow still in the table. Removed it, nothing broke, nobody complained.

Gentoo on the router
I have stripped paint from racks less aggressively than you compile kernels. 3 prefixes here, all from one aggregate that I split for TE. Vilnius, Amsterdam, London. Hostinger has a DC in all three, I checked once for latency.
if it ain't broke, rust it
Same here. 4 prefixes, following this thread to see if I should consolidate or if I'm already doing fine.

I worked at a place with 400+. They acquired a company that had acquired a company. Each had their own PI space, their own ASN, their own "we'll clean it up later." Nobody ever did.

How does that even fit in a router config? Or do they generate it automatically?

Templates. Generated from a database that itself was a spreadsheet from 2008. The network team hated it, the finance team loved the depreciation. I left.
2 prefixes. Both aggregates. I feel like this is the right answer and also that I'm lying to myself about how simple my network is.

It is. The thread is just full of people making excuses for their mess. No offense. Some offense.

Proper fair. We're all confessing though, that's the point of the thread.
