Abstract
In one embodiment, information is signaled between aggregating routers indicating the components of aggregated addresses. This information is used to dynamically leak, or deaggregate, specific parts of the aggregated address space to reduce sub-optimal routing and possibly prevent routing black holes from occurring in a network.
