From: jeff@nsipo.nasa.gov Date: Thu, 14 Jul 94 18:20:28 -0700 Although I've gone ahead and configured on aggregate for AU, I'm not in a position right now to utilize it. Thus, we will continue to request that specific nets get added. Although Jeff may have additional reasons---his situation is a bit more complex than ours---I just wanted to point out that DSI is in a similar situation (as described), and does not need to do this. Like NSI, the DSI is not capable of using aggregates internally, yet we _do_ have aggregates in the PRDB (with no more-specific routes listed) that are working fine (199.54/15 and 199.56.160/19). We advertise individual (classful) nets within these blocks to NSFnet, and they only propagate the aggregate to the rest of the net. -MAP
