Just got told by a Lightpath person that in order to do BGP on a customer gig circuit to them they would need a visio diagram (of what I dont know).
Has anybody else seen this brain damage?
Hand draw two squares, label them "our AS" and "your AS" with a line between them labeled "GigE". Bonus points for pencil.
And super duper bonus points is you draw pigeons carrying packets between the two blocks and stating that you are RFC 1149 compliant.
No, no, *NO*!! The proper approach is to ask the vendor for RFC 1149 trasport for the BGP session, and whether it terminates in a shared cage, or if a fully private one is required. Including an 'envionmental impact statement'. Explaining that this info is required in order to produce an accurate Visio diagram.
