    We had some hesitation on putting in a 1/ le /7 filter as these are not mentioned in any document / recommendation that they are invalid / bogus routes... nor in the Cymru.

    Anyway, just spotted this in Cymru [Ingress Prefix Filter Templates, Loose and Strict (Cisco)] but it was not included / mentioned in their fltr-bogons:

    ! Block Prefixes less than /5.
    !
    ip prefix-list ISP-Ingress-In-Loose seq 50 deny 0.0.0.0/0 le 5
    !
    ! Block /6 and /7 prefixes - We have this in as a marker to see if any of the
    ! large networks pull together any /8s into smaller blocks. Watch this hit
    ! counters with "show ip prefix". Tuned per Adriana Vascan <>
    ! suggestion.
    !
    ip prefix-list ISP-Ingress-In-Loose seq 55 deny 0.0.0.0/0 le 6
    ip prefix-list ISP-Ingress-In-Loose seq 60 deny 0.0.0.0/0 le 7
    !

    -yf
