But, we don't have a central router?
If your border to the exchange right now got a prefix with the next
hop of 206.108.255.3, how'd you get there? You'd have no route to host
for 206.108.255.3.
That is why I brought up the secondary IPs. Once everybody puts in a
secondary IP in 206.108.255.0/24, they'll know how to try to get to
206.108.255.3 for my prefix announcement. But I can't really do the
prefix announcement with the next-hop in 206.108.255.3 until everybody
knows how to get to 206.108.255.0/24?
