In our case a customer using BGP to our network from the same AS in two locations but not running an IGP between them (our's is not to reason why and all that)
A commonly accepted definition of AS is as follows:- | An Autonomous System (AS) is a connected group of one or more IP | prefixes run by one or more network operators under a *single* and | clearly defined routing policy. [emphasis mine] One cannot have discontiguous networks in the same ASN. It's pretty simple: two routing policies, two ASes, two ASNs. Unfortunately you weren't able to convince your customer of this. As you showed, it can be configured. More power to Vendor J for giving us all the choice to do so, but that still rarely makes it a good idea. -- Niels. -- the generation that used acid to escape reality is now using antacid to deal with reality
