[Attachment #2 (text/plain)]

Hi all, was curious if anyone has found it necessary to alter their route dampening \
rules related to anycast networks, and Cloudflare especially?  I've got a customer \
whose target web server has been going intermittently inaccessible from a very \
geographically distant Cloudflare location (AU), while no reports of issues from \
anywhere closer to the US.  I'm seeing a bunch of their /24's dampened on my side in \
several locations, and they appear to be networks that favor or are specific to AU, \
so I'm thinking that's the issue.  I'm going to whitelist their ASN, but perhaps I \
need to work on the policy to be more tolerant of flaps compared to years past with \
the increase in anycast use?

Thanks,

David
