Re: lots of prepends

The only ill effect is if set it too low.... we tested it a bit at 20-30 AS path length range figuring we shouldn't see *much* and it was staggering over time. The unfortunate thing more related to your question is that we found some AS's that were prepending 40-50 times to ALL their upstreams so with max-as set too low we had no routing to them at all!

aha! an idiot filter. this could be a feature, not a bug. randy
