Dennis, does that help the time to be back up and routing traffic after a router reboot or loss of connectivity? So you start using the default route as soon as you get it, and then get more specific as the routing table fills? That’s something that I’ve heard horror stories about, taking like 15 minutes to be back up and running after a router reboot or a loss of connectivity to the BGP peer. With a default route, I’m used to that being pretty much instantaneous.

You have your upstream send default+full, you can discard what you don’t need, then if you need something, you don’t have to call them, just change your filters.
