Mark, Nope .. it is the other way around.
It is all easy if you look from your network centric view. But if I am connected to 10 ISPs in each POP I have to build 10 different egress policies, each embedding custom policy, teach NOC to understand it etc... I think if there is a defined way to express prepend N times to my ISP peers across all uplinks or lower local pref in my ISP network in a same way to group of ISPs I see the value. Best Regards, R.
