[c-nsp] Rationale for ISIS default origination behavior

Basically it doesn't matter much whether you inject 8.8.8.8 or 0.0.0.0 from
all network edges and let IGP to find best path to nearest NH for that
route.
I guess the question turned out to be
What would be the best trigger for a default route advertisement either from
the edge(PE) routers or core(RR) routers.
-eBGP peer's interface might be reachable though the eBGP session might be
down.
-ability or inability to see a single route (or couple of routes for that
matter), might not reflect the ability of a particular edge to perform
full-table routing.
I believe we lack the knobs in our route-maps/policies to do the default
advertisement decision wisely
We would need something like:
Is the eBGP session operational to this eBGP peer? If yes than originate
default [advertise it to iBGP peers].
Or did I receive certain number of prefixes from this eBGP peer? If yes I
can advertise a default route.
