Re: selective auto-aggregation

I do it. Reasons are to control inbound traffic better, some routes are 
annnounced to all upstreams, some are to some specific ones, some have 
different communities tagged to them, etc. I have one block which is /19 
which I do not announce and only announce multiple /23, /24 out of. It 
works just fine - I'v not seen one place which does not route there...
