Has anyone automated prefix filtering, for example if a peer acquire a new prefix to be received automatically may be any IRR, you can share the working configuration.

​Janvier, Yes, there are many ways of doing this. In the past, I've used things like https://github.com/snar/bgpq3 and I've been playing around with my own version too: https://github.com/dotwaffle/prefixlister​ Essentially, you run those tools periodically with the ASN or AS-SET you want to generate the prefixes for, saving the output to a file. You then include that file from within your main bird.conf and specify that prefix set within your policy. Be warned, though: While the RIPE region generally has very good IRR listings (route/route6 objects) things aren't so good in other RIRs -- many North American networks register at RADB, as do other regions if there isn't a nice IRRDB available at their RIR, but especially in regions like Asia and South America you will find a very low takeup of RPSL entries in an IRRDB. If you choose to peer with a network that does not have route objects covering all of it's networks, you would do very well to at the very least implement a prefix-limit on the BGP session, that stays "hard down" if it is tripped.
