On a side note: Folks should keep an eye on Allegiance Internet (the folks I work for). They picked up the old Digex / Intermedia Business Internet backbone and are in the process of integrating it (under AS2548). Financially solid company, very easy to work with, and have some strong uptimes. (Plan on seeing an SLA of 99.999%/99.75%/65ms with a guaranteed 15 minute response time for loss of connectivity to customer prem and a guaranteed 40 business day install). For peering, I'm pretty sure the policy is Tier 1 = 4 points OC-3 or better, Tier 2 = 4 points DS-3 or better (Tier 2 peer pays loop charge if applicable).
On what basis do you claim that Allegiance Internet is going to have any external connectivity to speak of by the end of the day? So far ALGX has spent the entire weekend leaking a full table to anyone that would listen at MAE-West, and occaisionally MAE-East as well. I spent 90 minutes in the queue to inform your NOC of this problem, and 3 hours later, the only change in this situation is that you are now leaking a full table at MAE-East again. I've spoken to several other people that peer with 2548, and they've been seeing the same thing. I have been told that quite a few people have called or emailed your NOC about this issue, for the past two days. Since you work for ALGX, do you think you could find someone who can correctly update a route-map? Thanks! Incidentally, you may wish to revise your SLA figures in light of this 2+ day incident. --msa
