The backbone should not take _any_ routing information from the leaf networks.

there are cases where one has to:

o multi-homed customers who need to speak bgp.

o pops where one's local complexity is sufficiently high,

In these cases one should be prepared to include portions of these networks into the backbone, as treat them accordingly, from an administrative point of view. Letting more than one group to play with routing within the backbone is a recipe for disaster. In case with multi-homed customers it may not be possible, so some very paranoid filtering is in order. --vadim
