I never said that PPLB is ubiquitous (widely used--for those not so used to big words). I said that it is possible to see it. And that if you see it, it will not work with anycast TCP DNS.
Please forgive my misunderstanding. However, if PPLB is NOT widely used, why would you particularly care about its effects? Avian Carriers are not widely used either, and I don't much care about their effect on RTT...
Second, the router architecture issue about whether PPLB was possible on certain routers. It is possible on a great number of routers. But there are some details I missed.
Here I disagree: you made statements about the default behavior of Cisco and Juniper routers which reflected an incorrect understanding of the actual workings and deployed configurations of same. My argument that strenuous assertions of incorrect facts weakens credibility holds.
Please don't put (wrong) words in my mouth, and then say I'm wrong.
I apologize if I misquote or distort in any way, it is certainly not my intent. Any search of my previous postings to NANOG would show that I attempt to be accurate in representing and commenting on others' opinions. David Barak Need Geek Rock?
