Has anyone ever > thought about adding a mechanism to BGP for advertising "anti-routes?" Look at: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-chen-bgp-route-filter-01.txt however this functionality was not incorporated into the very recent http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-idr-bgp4-12.txt Note that you still can't reach the nullroutes in this case if you have the path 6461 702$, so this (or the alternative suggested, community-tagging a nullroute feed for munging localprefs) would have to be deployed amongst every above peer - with their cooperation - to avoid asymmetric peculiarities. Quite a lot of work just to allow orbs to probe you :) although the generic case as addressed in the route-filter draft is quite interesting. joshua
