the /36 or /40 will still be filtered per AS559's policies, so its
pointless.

Carry multiple default routes to all your providers.

I totally understand your concerns. We are already doing as much
aggregation as we can possible.  We only use 1 subnet per site (we're using
/48 for that, so that we don't leak /64's). The attributes might look the
same, but they're all originated from separate physical locations with no
backbone in-between.

We use two /48's for Anycast, the ones that are often complained about
reachability, these are originated from each of our nodes.

Again, i'm not looking at deaggregating the internet. We're using maximum
possible aggregation per our deployments. a /48 is not a end user site,
that would usually be considered a /64. We're not asking for /64's to be
accepted, nor are we announcing them.

/48 is the generally accepted maximum prefix length visible in the table
(and is visible to most major networks today).

Cheers,
Tom
