RE: Route optimization using GPUs?

[Drew Weaver <drew.weaver () thenap com>]

The ones I've used have simply injected more specific routes into my own local routing table to determine what path 
traffic takes to reach a specific destination.

That's pretty much all it does.

The same way I use communities to do this based upon geography, or 500 other things [avoiding 1299 getting to certain 
networks]. The difference is now it's all manual.

I wasn't advocating for allowing route optimizers to inject routes that escape your own ASN.

I'm not sure how that became the topic.

Thanks,
-Drew

You realise that this is not just what the problematic "route optimizers" do, right? And also not the problematic bit?
