The additional clues can be found in the aut-num for dual homed AS. If a route is registered with more than one origin AS and you route differently to these two AS, that's a clue to look carefully before proxying too. > It seems to me dual homed sites which are the concence of > proxy aggregation, can be detected with a reasonably full set > of routes, i.e. the second from AS from the origin in the ASPATH > being different. (Or some split in the path outside of an > AS communinity or confederation). The secondary route may not be advertised to you if the primary suppresses the advertisement. For example if previders are A and B and they peer with each other, I may think I can aggregate some prefix over provider A, but B may not be advertising a backup path since it is preferring the same primary through A.
