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.
