------------------------------------------------
But hey maybe we can match all prefixes AS_SEQUENCE
ending in ASN^ to weed out routes local to AS'es? Or a
combination of partial (ISP specific), and default
routes might make it manageable..
Either is possible, depending on your goal. In my experience though, you get better performance by accepting a full table from each provider, as opposed to partials and defaults...

Here is a real world example.

I made a routing change a couple of weeks ago, because we had a performance problem reaching qwest via one of our peers Knowing this, I matched qwest's ASN 209 with a as-path access-list and prepended it on ingress. A clear ip bgp soft-in later, and I was off doing more interesting things...

ip as-path access-list 9 permit _209_
route-map wvfiber-in permit 9
match as-path 9
set as-path prepend 19151 19151

If you had too much traffic on one provider in a load-sharing situation, you could follow the same logic, but match something larger than a single as, i.e. a prefix-list like 128.0.0.0/1 le 27 would match (roughly) half of the routes on the internet

p.s. I'm de-resubcribing to the non-digest so I'll stop breaking the threads by replying to the digest. :)
