i, for one didn't understand the request. hypothetically, if mci enters into an agreement with MAE E/W to allow a list of mac header addresses to have access to our port on a gigaswitch, what reason is there for MAE E/W to share that list with anyone else? if there is no peering arrangement between two networks you could assume that the the mac header of one network's interface isn't on the list, right?

I din't see an answer on this one....

In response to requests from several customers for a filtering solution at MAE EAST and MAE WEST, MFS WorldCom is developing an automated system to enable ISPs to control traffic destined for their own routers and networks.
Are you going to post the list of permitted/denied addresses?
Operationally it would be *very* useful to know what addresses are blocked. --asp@partan.com (Andrew Partan)
