The policy toward AS4006 was set to 1:3561 2:1239 based on the advisories for the 3 AS4006 nets that existed when we froze the aut-num. If you add prefixes to AS4006, you don't have to do anything except to make sure to register route objects with the correct origin AS.
The prefix in question was one of these three, and our networks seem to be talking just fine. The fact that our system also sends and receives hundreds of messages to/from AOL customers every day would seem to suggest further that the original problem was/is with AOL. Of course, the fact that a good percentage of their servers don't respond to pings from here makes it difficult to isolate when this is happening. Are they just broken in this aspect, or is this another symptom of a connectivity problem between us? (I just tried this from another location outside our network, and trying to ping a.mx.aol.com produced a _segfault_ (Solaris box)...what's going on here?) // Matt Zimmerman Chief of System Management NetRail, Inc. // mdz@netrail.net sales@netrail.net // (703) 524-4800 [voice] (703) 524-4802 [data] (703) 534-5033 [fax]
