Re: CIDR deployment

Can any of us arbitrarily deny our clients? I think not. If I choose to have Merit/ANS remove more specific routes, I think they are obligated to do so. Is this true? That way, -I- am responsible, not my provider.

We only propogate exact matches to the NACRs. If you ask for a more specific route to be removed, it's gone from ANS. We will still believe more specific routes (than what is listed in the NACR) from you to get the next hop right but we won't export the more specific routes into our IBGP (unless another NACR matches it exactly). Did I understand the question right? Curtis
