My opinion is probably at one pole of the spectrum of ideas about NAPs and MAEs, however it's essentially this: do not propagate other people's next-hops at all to your NAP/MAE peers,

Presumably the other pole being the RA approach where the object you peer with is *never* the next hop (i.e. minimize BGP sessions and packets switched at the possible expense of predictability / reliability / control). Anyone have any idea how much traffic actually *does* shortcut a hop (or more), and thus what impact always using next-hop-self would have? Alex Bligh Xara Networks
