John, I need to ask. Why the requirement to do such drastic filtering? The v6 table size is pretty small. Plus you stated, after adjusting your own configuration, the /48 filter (the accepted common practice in v6-land) reduces cruft and provides a pretty clean table. Does the slightly less th

Hello, Thanks Daniel and Will, I appreciate your advice. Still learning about V6 so your help is gratefully received. Think I'll have to filter on /32's and accept a default route for now while sorting out alternative's. Thanks once again everyone who has replied, have a great Friday :) Cheers
