our bgp tables are starting (?) to get out of hand. we are thinking maybe we should start nuking some routes in order to reduce the size of the tables. is there a list of commonly accepted aggregating prefix filters? -- [ Jim Mercer jim(a)pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.ca ] [ Reptilian Research -- Longer Life through Colder Blood ] [ aka jim(a)reptiles.org +1 416 410-5633 ]

Or lack of sufficient clue in their IT departments to implement anything but static routing (sadly, very often the case in my experience).

The downtime was considerable. It was described as a "catastrophic failure". No exact details of exactly what happened, but appearently something more significant than the average fiber cut, to judge by the length of time between techs arriving on site, and the eventual repair.

There was a fiber cut about that time, which may be affecting routing and transit in various cross-country networks. On Thu, 26 April 2001, "Jade E.
