I have a question for Sprint folk, in regards to thier filtering. Let's assume for a moment that I have a /17 assigned to me by ARIN. I am a customer of Savvis (who in turn is a customer of Sprint). I announce this /19 and all is well. Then, lets say that I get a customer, of which I assign a /19 to them from my /17. Lets say the mutli-home between us and another provider. The other provider does *not* have a connection to Sprint as a customer, but as a peer. When my customers' link goes down to me, and they are only connected to the 'net via the other providers connection, with Sprint see that /19 announcement? Can you convinve them to do so? What if my customer had a /20, or /21 instead of a /19? Thanks! -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- ISPF, The Forum for ISPs by ISPs.
