The ones I've used have simply injected more specific routes into my own local routing table to determine what path traffic takes to reach a specific destination. That's pretty much all it does. The same way I use communities to do this based upon geography, or 500 other things [avoiding 1299 getting to certain networks]. The difference is now it's all manual. I wasn't advocating for allowing route optimizers to inject routes that escape your own ASN. I'm not sure how that became the topic.

William,
Exactly! An example below is where operators/orgs do not have the funds for a full table router deployment and gather top talkers from sFlow, which says what routes are to be installed in TCAM, instead of hitting a default route.
You realise that this is not just what the problematic "route optimizers" do, right? And also not the problematic bit? -- Niels.
