With that being said, I also have a related question. Historically, If I
wanted other networks out there in the wild to prefer a certain path into my
AS, I would pad my advertisement all to hell from the less preferred routes,
so that those advertisements would have a larger, less desireable AS-path.
However, some providers (due to peering agreements, or whatever reason)
prefer paths through other networks, regardless of how much I pad my
advertisement to them... Is there a better way to attack the issue, or is
there nothing I can do about it?
Thanks,
Chris
