I would like to see about moving to announcing aggregates to the carriers across the MPLS network and redistributing more specifics from iBGP to the carriers to get the traffic where it needs to be. In a failover situation these more specifics are also visible on an MPLS backbone where other transit routers will prepend the AS path upstream based on specific communities to prevent anycast routing.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif'>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif'>Ryan<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
