Greetings RIPE,

We definitely understand your concerns.  Many of our peers have similar 
conditions.  All of our peering sessions for bgp data are configured 
with a standard peer-group that blocks all outbound advertisements.

router bgp 65222
  neighbor BGP-INCOMING peer-group
  neighbor BGP-INCOMING ebgp-multihop 200
  neighbor BGP-INCOMING version 4
  neighbor BGP-INCOMING soft-reconfiguration inbound
  neighbor BGP-INCOMING prefix-list block-all out
  [...]
!
ip prefix-list block-all description Block all announcements
ip prefix-list block-all seq 5 deny 0.0.0.0/0 le 32

We definitely guarantee that the data will never be redistributed 
without your permission.  The data will be used solely for improving 
our Internet monitoring utilities.  If you would like this guarantee in 
writing let me know and I'll try to arrange it.

Thanks for your consideration.
