Back when I worked for the DNC we ran into a problem with the TCAM size. Given the DNC's focus on the U.S., network reliability to the /8's operated out of the APNIC and RIPE regions was much less important to us. So, we filtered BGP announcements from within those /8's and relied on covering routes to get our packets there instead. I used covering /8's instead of a default, but a default would have been as effective. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin ................
