We have a 486 DX4 100 with 40 megs of ram running FreeBSD and gated with a T1 to Sprint and a T1 to MCI. I have a few questions that someone may be able to answer. If my Sprint T1 goes down, how long will it take for route to drop out of the routing table? I have peering going with sprint and MCI and I have about 31,000 routes in my routing table. When I called up sprint and MCI they said they were not getting routes form me. How do I advertize my CIDR blocks to sprint and mci via BGP4?
