is a threshold helpful here? (well, it's helpful to a point at least)
what if your neighbour starts deaggragating (or sending you their
internal deaggragates) in place of 50k real routes? no alarm, no
'change' from a numbers perspective, but certainly a traffic shift and
reach-ability change :(

Isn't a speed-of-change threshold also interesting here?
