Re: [nsp] Can your upstream aggregate for you?

If your SP has clue, you can tag the unaggregated routes community
no-export (or whatever they have set up as a community they won't
re-advertise) and the deaggregated routes will get filtered at their
border. The summary may be advertised normally, and will get
redistributed. Not all ISPs are set up to recognize this, though.

This way, you get to control what gets advertised, instead of having to
get someone else to do it.
