Of course! Just a question? How can Jessica (or anyone at Merit/ANS Sprint, Ebone or anyone else reselling) -prevent- the customer from doing aggregation once (M/A, Sprint, Alternet, Ebone) are cidr capable?
Don't beleive them.
Perhaps I was not clear. If I (NSP to the world) claim the be cidr capable and willing to accept & transit cidr routes, what basis do I have to restrict my clients from sending me aggregated routes? If I follow the advice given above, (from a number of folks), then I am capricious in acceptance of stated policy. Merit/ANS should accept my NACR for route addition/removal as long as it affects nets that are verifiably mine. Sprint, Alternet, and Ebone are in the same boat (I think). 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. -- Regards, Bill Manning
