Re: Why Vadim likes statics

So we end up with a few possible outcomes (there are more...)

How about aggregates as pullups. This both makes a pseudo-static and a flap dampener. I also really like Curtis' work - I think it needs to be added to BGP4 (BGP5?) as a part of the RFC... The overall objective is that the the father away in the topology you are, the less "meaningful" those flaps are. So damp them in some distance proportional manner (AS path length?) as they move in across the Internet.
