FWIW, if you don't announce your aggregate, do not be surprised if you experience continued disconnectivity to many parts of the Internet. Some SPs notice that SoftbankBB have received 126/8, so will likely filter as such. Leaking sub-prefixes may be fine for traffic engineering, but this generally only works best if you include a covering aggregate. Try including your /8 announcement and see if this improves reachability for you. Out of curiosity, why pick on a /16 for traffic engineering? Most people tend to analyse traffic flows and pick the appropriate address space size as a subdivision. Or do you have 256 links to upstream ISPs and need that level of fine-tuning? best wishes, philip --
