Well, Cisco *did* EoS/EoL BGP last week. I guess there really wasn't all that much industry traction on whatever protocol they decided to replace it with.

What happened could be: a) they were smoking something and indeed decided to use EIGRP rather than BGP. b) they were testing out 4 byte ASNs and had a software issue in their IOS c) someone in Cisco wanted to download a new IOS and got frustrated with their new site so he/she pulled the plug. Kudos to that brave Cisco employee. :-) -Hank
