We aren't going to consolidate to a single /8 announcement. We are going to continue to announce each individual /16 for incoming traffic engineering.
FWIW, if you don't announce your aggregate, do not be surprised if you experience continued disconnectivity to many parts of the Internet. Some SPs notice that SoftbankBB have received 126/8, so will likely filter as such. Leaking sub-prefixes may be fine for traffic engineering, but this generally only works best if you include a covering aggregate. Try including your /8 announcement and see if this improves reachability for you. Out of curiosity, why pick on a /16 for traffic engineering? Most people tend to analyse traffic flows and pick the appropriate address space size as a subdivision. Or do you have 256 links to upstream ISPs and need that level of fine-tuning? best wishes, philip --
