Ah, I'm afraid you are having a "senior moment" :). Sockeye devices do not
steer inbound traffic by announcing small prefixes (or any prefixes).
Competitors might (or might not), but we don't. Any routes advertised by our
devices will always have the no-advertise or no-export well-known
communities, as an additional safety measure to prevent route table
pollution of any type.

my time flies.  it's so comforting to have this discussion again so we
don't have to think and can just reiterate the same old flamage.  or
maybe the net is now old enough that a significant proportion of our
population has altzheimers.  i will 'fess up to having 'senior moments'
myself.

the only new thing this time is that you now have a financial interest
in routing table pollution.  or am i mistaken that sockeye devices will
be announcing small prefixes in an attempt to steer inbound traffic?
