In addition, wherever possible, network operators announcing
address space are strongly encouraged to avoid announcing
deaggregated routes when announcing address blocks from a single
Autonomous System unless this deaggregation is required for
traffic engineering purposes.
When contiguous blocks are delegated to a network operator, the
operator is encouraged to announce the contiguous address blocks
as a single aggregated prefix, with minimal additional
announcements of deaggregated prefixes being made only for traffic
engineering requirements.
