If B does not send the /24 to F,
then F will send all the traffic to C,
even if A wanted a load balance.

Maybe I could ask the community:
Why do you advertise longer prefixes with the
same nexthop as the shoter prefix?
Is it this use case, or something else?

it is a common TE use case.  but folk watching the water rise
are starting to ask why the whole world should pay for A's TE.
