and if your capacity between 2 asn endpoints is always able to handle
the traffic load offered, right? else you start having to
traffic-engineer... which today means deaggregate (or announce some
more specifics along with the aggregate).
I'm not sure I'd make a bet that I can always have enough capacity
between any two asn endpoints that I wouldn't need to TE.
