Re: oh k can you see

Maybe I'm missing something, but the core issue is that the NO- EXPORT'ed anycast instance has a higher localpref inside the AS it's being advertised to, and as such supressing the non-NO_EXPORT'ed prefix. The "exportable" prefix gets suppressed at a point on the network such that the peering routers never see it, so it never makes it out of that AS.

it willl lose the best path war at the point it is down-preffed. if that is done at the entrance, then the route is useless. if it is done at some intermediate points, it's hell to create and maintain a consistent net-wide config. randy
