But then why kill the route on the advertiser (which in the real world you might not have access to) rather than filter it out on the receiving router that shouldn't be learning it? Which, the more I search my memory banks, seems like the thing I probably did rather than backdoor. I think I filtered that prefix as it was coming into R2 and R4, to avoid removing config from R1. How did you make the decision between those two options?
