Hi,

Are the ones in the To line aware that you are breaking RFC3056
by announcing 6to4 more specifics?

RFC3056 Section 5.2 point 3:
8<------------
   6to4 prefixes more specific than 2002::/16 must not be propagated in
   native IPv6 routing, to prevent pollution of the IPv6 routing table
   by elements of the IPv4 routing table.  Therefore, a 6to4 site which
   also has a native IPv6 connection MUST NOT advertise its 2002::/48
   routing prefix on that connection, and all native IPv6 network
   operators MUST filter out and discard any 2002:: routing prefix
   advertisements longer than /16.
- ------------>8

Currently you are announcing, to the rest of the world:

2002:c058:6301::/48	192.88.99.1/32	AS786
2002:c0e7:d405::/48	192.231.212.5/32	AS7570
2002:c8a2::/33		200.162.0.0/17	AS15180
2002:c8c6:4000::/34	200.198.64.0/18	AS15180
2002:c8ca:7000::/36	200.202.112.0/20	AS15180

NOTEZ BIEN:
% Not assigned. Free in Brazilian block: 200.198.64.0/18

Is LACNIC the RIR or is NIC.BR the one? Seeing that a
complete IPv4 /9 has been carved up to them and LACNIC
doesn't handle anything else?

192.88.99.1/32 is *THE* anycast address, it is *NOT* routable....
And you don't own it either, please read RFC3068 and stop that
foolish announcement. In whois.ripe.net this network is documented:

route:        192.88.99.0/24
descr:        RFC3068-ECIX
origin:       AS9033
mnt-by:       ECIX-MNT
mnt-routes:   RFC3068-MNT
changed:      czmok@gatel.de 20030711
source:       RIPE
remarks:      See RFC 3068
remarks:      "An Anycast Prefix for 6to4 Relay Routers"
remarks:      Christian Huitema
remarks:      June 2001

Feel free to notify your "upstreams" that they should be
filtering anything more specific in 2002::/16 and should
probably not be announcing cross-RIR prefixes unaggregated.
