AGIS upgraded its router at the Sprint NAP to an RSP (from SP/SSP), and at the same time had to upgrade the FDDI interface. It hasn't really worked right since. It turns out through experimentation, any return traffic coming through Pennsauken dies on that router. So we've essentially taken the Sprint NAP router off the net while we figure out what's wrong. [That, by the way, is why it's so important to see as many networks in as many places as possible.] We've spent the time since try to determine if we have: - a FDDI problem - an RSP problem - an undesirable SMDS/IOS interaction (we use SMDS to get into Pennsauken from our net) - some other undesireable hardware/IOS interaction - routing or other configuration on the Pennsauken router - routing or other configuration on any other router I'll let you know what we find out. We've pretty much eliminated routing or FDDI, and are looking at SMDS/IOS or some other config issue. Peter BTW: when Kent's traceroute failed, that particular address was also unreachable from other nets. At 01:16 PM 11/1/96 -0500, Pritish Shah wrote:
this is not due to AGIS vs BBN. This is plain and simple BBN that is not ok. As the response from one of the bbnplanet employee, the DNS is setup but there is not machine at that location.

Folks;
It appears that routes to BBN via AGIS aren't working but others are. Is this true? Perhaps we should start an AGIS Peering Woes List?
1) Digex 2) BBN Planet 3) ??
