Is it unreasonable of me to think it's awfully backwards of ANS.NET to require anyone getting a new CIDR block to physically call ANS's NOC and say "please listen to routes for this block from this AS"?
They obviously care even less about their network than we were previously led to belive.
Based on some of the other replies I've gotten, it's clear I should have elaborated I'm not an ANS customer. I could see them not taking BGP routes for any random IP block from customers...but I'm a customer of other backbones, and had to call ANS to say "please listen to X and Y announcing routes for blah". I told them on the phone...I'll just have to keep telling our customers (some of which are ISPs) that ANS is down. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jon Lewis <jlewis@fdt.net> | Network Administrator | Florida Digital Turnpike | ______http://inorganic5.fdt.net/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key____
