Hi Chriztoffer

I have been looking further into this and it seems that Telia/1299 does
not consider these types of routes as RPKI invalids! 

(I base this on the fact that Telia publicly stated that they do drop
invalids, however I receive the following prefixes on one of our Telia
transit ports)

*  77.75.37.0/24      213.248.93.92          100     50      0 1299 2914 9121 9121 42926 {206991} i
*  77.83.56.0/22      213.248.93.92          100     50      0 1299 1273 24785 16003 {8455,27970} i
*  83.230.0.0/19      213.248.93.92          100     50      0 1299 6830 35434 {202220} i
*  83.230.32.0/20     213.248.93.92          100     50      0 1299 6830 35434 {199551} i
*  103.15.41.0/24     213.248.93.92          100     50      0 1299 4637 9498 58682 {54994} i
*  119.30.80.0/20     213.248.93.92          100     50      0 1299 6762 38193 58470 23966 {131471,132788} i

Before I turn on validation on our transit sessions I would like to hear
some feedback from networks that already drops invalids. Will dropping
these routes with AS_SET in the path cause any issues? Or are you
dropping these without any known problems?
