We are in agreement with all of your points and would even encourage you to stop peering with the T1, IF the T1 safety tail is installed and you are a purely IP site (no CLNP traffic).
Well, now, I was in the same boat a few weeks ago, and asked if I should simply ignore the T1, and was told no, it was best if I did not. The end result is I'm taking T1-only routes from the NSS and nothing from the ENSS, and pointing default at the ENSS. It seems to work fine, but I'm wondering what has changed such that a different recommendation is being made. The reasons I got for continuing to take T1 routes were CLNP, relying on the T1-T3 interconnects as a single point of failure to T1-only nets, and being able to use the T1 as a backup for the T3 should the ENSS fail (this is not an issue anyway as apparently I can't take a default route from the ENSS so I can't tell when to fail default over to the T1). -- Charley Kline, KF9FF, U of Illinois Network Architect cvk@uiuc.edu "Stimpy!
