Ah, I'm afraid you are having a "senior moment" :). Sockeye devices do not steer inbound traffic by announcing small prefixes (or any prefixes). Competitors might (or might not), but we don't. Any routes advertised by our devices will always have the no-advertise or no-export well-known communities, as an additional safety measure to prevent route table pollution of any type. - Dan

my time flies. it's so comforting to have this discussion again so we don't have to think and can just reiterate the same old flamage. or maybe the net is now old enough that a significant proportion of our population has altzheimers. i will 'fess up to having 'senior moments' myself.
the only new thing this time is that you now have a financial interest in routing table pollution. or am i mistaken that sockeye devices will be announcing small prefixes in an attempt to steer inbound traffic?
