Hi Vlade, Well, if you are trying to balance the incoming traffic load with local-pref attribute, I can understand your disappointment :) Since it doesn't work at all this way: local-pref is local to an AS and deals with outgoing traffic only.
B) We have our own AS and IP space. I advertise them to both Cogent and our other ISP. I use the local preference attribute to share the load for incoming traffic between both ISPs. In the last 5 outages over the last few years, this has happened twice. I'm waiting on the RFO so I can further investigate why this happened. I think someone mentioned this in a post a few months ago too.
