We are getting an Ethernet DIA circuit from AT&T but they insist that they can't BGP peer with 2 routers on our side. The WAN circuit can only have /30 they say. Has anyone been able to successfully talk them in to bending their rule? If so, how?

I know this should have been negotiated before signing a contract but I was unfortunately not in the loop... :(

It seems like a ridiculous bureaucratic restriction.

Welcome to AT&T's "reality". Fighting people who have been set in their ways for over a century and actually capable of making the federal government bend to their will is probably not good for your stress level. -- TTFN, patrick
