anywhere near that long". Worst case, someone is silly with their number of prepends, we don't see their route. I can't say how long I've been doing this...it predates our rancid setup, which means >6 years. Though it's caused numerous dropped routes, it hasn't generated a single complaint.
Ezzactly. Of course, the victim of the dropped route has no easy way to figure out that you've dropped his route, and continues to cruise along oblivious to what happened...
Unless they actually want to talk to one of our customers or one of our customers wants to talk to them. Speaking of prepends, what's the community opinion on prepending someone else's ASN on your routes for TE purposes if you're announcing routes you don't want certain AS's to see, but don't have a communities knob that works for those networks? I was pretty negative on the idea until I was in the situation of having a working knob taken away. Nobody's complaining about it...probably not even noticing it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis, MCP :) | I route Senior Network Engineer | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
