ask non-filtering peers of 3561 how well they performed when hit with the 15k route flap on 18 jan.
I remember an amusing incident with another major provider who leaked my employer 50k prefixes sometime last year. Our routers, with lots of ram shugged, all the AS paths were longer, it didn't even really affect routing. Meanwhile the leaking peer crashed and burned on 7513's with 128M RAM, we watched their links bounce, and traffic drop from large levels to nearly 0 before they got it under control, 4-6 hours later. At the time we had just completed upgrading most of the routers from 128M to 256M, which is what saved us...and we had the proof that a few thousand dollars worth of RAM could save hours of downtime for hundreds (if not thousands) of customers. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell@ufp.org Systems Engineer - Internetworking Engineer - CCIE 3440 Read TMBG List - tmbg-list-request@tmbg.org, www.tmbg.org
