Based on the feedback from this list, I’ve put together a rough draft of a best practice. Anyone can add comments to the Google Doc. If you’d like to edit the document directly, please send me your email, and I’ll add you to the document’s authors.
I would suggest that you develop a mutual set of communities to indicate if a prefix is a customer or a transit receiving peer, and which continent the prefix lives on so that some sensible pruning could be attempted. As an example it would probably be helpful for Géant to know if Internet2 is sending prefixes from South America or Africa as they possibly have a better path to those locations and would want to depreference an Internet2 version even if the AS path was shorter. If there are regions with limited connectivity options than enumerating them might be helpful.
