NEVER EVER EVER put an IX prefix into BGP, IGP, or even static
route. An IXP LAN should not be reachable from any device not
directly attached to that LAN. Period.
This is correct, and protects both your (ISP) infrastructure and the
IXP's. All major European IXPs revisited their policy after the giant
DDoS attack on CloudFlare, and the above was pretty much the outcome.
