Those can be integrated easily into updates to the IP forwarding table.
That need not propagate to other nodes, and the update can be via any
routing protocol you want (Aero's or otherwise).

The primary benefit of integration into existing IP forwarding is that
you CAN propagate these if you want, and you CAN integrate the impact of
those updates into IP forwarding decisions. If you have only one link,
that doesn't matter - but it does otherwise.
