[Xorp-hackers] Blackhole routes

Hi all,

Would people find it useful to have blackhole route functionality within XORP?

I am thinking here of several examples; some networks have BGP blackhole
routers which inject routes into a community which cause certain kinds
of traffic to be effectively null-routed. Or some people may wish to
add static blackhole routes for certain bogus prefixes.

Does anyone have any ideas about how this might be implemented, preferably
in a portable manner?

Regards,
BMS
