Hi Russ,

Regarding your topology:

                    (   )
           /-------( AS2 )--------\
    (   ) /         (   )          \ (   )       (   )
   ( AS1 )                          ( AS4 )-----( AS5 )
    (   ) \         (   )          / (   )       (   )
           \-------( AS3 )--------/
                    (   )

   o  AS1 is advertising 192.0.2.128/25 to both AS2 and AS3.

   o  AS2 is advertising both 192.0.2.128/25 and 192.0.2.0/24 into AS4.

   o  AS3 is advertising 192.0.2.128/25 into AS4


I am afraid you are too optimistic :)

The most common scenario I see is that AS2 only advertises to AS4 the aggregate so 192.0.2.0/24. That means that your 192.0.2.128/25 would never get "BOUNDED" status hence the other path via AS3 will continue worldwide via AS4.

Contrary as you very well know the alternative proposal http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-marques-idr-aggregate-00.txt seems to address the above case as well as all cases you are trying to cover. Could you comment and compare both solutions especially as a (co-)author of both ;).

Best,
R.
