Anyone who peers with the CIX and doesn't filter (or peers with anyone and doesn't filter) gets what they deserve. At a minimum, as-path filtering; preferably, prefix filtering based on RADB registrations. IMHO.
Yeah, I know. I deserved that. For reasons best discussed only after consuming large quantities of beer, I hadn't filtered that BGP session. A ticking time bomb that finally went off. With the end of ANS as a seperate network, will there be any network pressure to keep any public routing registry up to date?
But yes, memory, even NVRAM, isn't so expensive, and it would be nice if this were at least field-replaceable or upgradeable (eg, first chip is soldered to the board, but with empty sockets for add-on NVRAM.)
I'd even be willing Cisco memory prices for that!!! ========== Also a reminder, the electric power industry will be conducting a Y2K drill on Friday, April 9, 1999. This is not expected to affect end-customer's electrical service. ftp://ftp.nerc.com/pub/sys/all_updl/docs/pressrel/4-9-99-drillreminder.pdf Next week, April 14, the FCC NRIC committee will be reviewing the telephone industry Y2K tests. http://www.nric.org/ I'm looking forward to the end of 1999. It means no more Y2K presentations. -- Sean Donelan, Data Research Associates, Inc, St. Louis, MO Affiliation given for identification not representation
