Re: [pacnog] Splitting up prefix advertisements



    > I realize the CIDR folks may frown on de-aggregation, but I need some way to load balance two links of different sizes from 2 different upstreams.

Yeah, de-aggregation is pretty bad practice...  One thing you can do is to 
buy your transit on the mainland, and just use two different satellite 
carriers for the backhaul, and do your own internal load balancing (which 
can use exactly the same mechanism, but) which won't make a mess visible 
to other people, outside your network.  I know of quite a few folks on the 
end of satellite links who do this.
