All the responses I have gotten indicate that UUnet does indeed set local-pref on both customers and peers to 100 (or leave default in this case). Thanks for all the responses... -- -sean Spoon! On Fri, 14 Dec 2001, Christopher A. Woodfield wrote:

I think you misunderstood the question - what you have detailed here is a list of customer communities that UUNet accepts, what Sean is trying to find out is what internal localpref UUNet sets by default - do they automatically give prefixes from customers a higher localpref than prefixes heard from peers? I don't know for sure, but I'm thinking that they do, which makes sense - otherwise it's possible to send traffic to a peer when there could be a valid path for the traffic via a customer.

Does anyone know what local-pref AS701 sets for their customers and their peers? I called their NOC, and was told that is was set to 100 for both, though I know most providers set local-pref on peers lower than customers. I just want to get confirmation on what i was told by their NOC.
TIA.
