VP routes are tagged specifically with a “should-install tag”. Consequently, in the scenario where all VP routes for a given VP are withdrawn, routers (include tagging routers and non-tagging routers) could detect the withdrawn VP immediately, and then implement the proper operation. [Xiaohu] The “VP route tag” approach had ever been mentioned in the -00 version of VA-auto (see section 4.1). However, after serious consideration, we decided to give up this approach in the latter versions since the approach will cause the risk of repeatedly adding and removing the sub-prefixes within a given VP in the event of that VP route flap. 2. A popular prefixes list is configured on the tagging routers. This list could be consisted of high volume prefixes, policy-based prefixes and static list prefixes. Customer prefixes mentioned in exiting mechanism could be considered as one kind of policy-based prefixes. Tagging routers should not tag routes whose prefix falls within this list. [Xiaohu] The similar idea was also mentioned in the -00 version of VA-auto (see section 3.1.1). However, since how to identify the popular prefixes and policy-based prefixes is a local matter and much flexible(e.g, automatically or manually, prefix-based or peer-based), we decided not to specify it in the latter version and thus the operators have flexibility to choose the approach which is most suitable for them. Xiaohu Your thoughts and comments are welcome.
