Yes before RPKI especially and still now this technique is commonly used but not even every T1 (backbone) network had done that correctly in the past, hence outages.

By T1 I assume you mean “Tier 1”, not to be confused with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-carrier

heh yeah tier 1 provider, not t1 line. Blast from the past - I still remember people bragging about their 1.5Mbps T1 connections.

Ah I used to be so jealous of people with their T1 connections while I was stuck on a 56k dial up connection trying to play Unreal Tournament '99. Good times.
