Then you have a good reason to begin negotiations with other networks with a view to them accepting your unaggregated/unaggregatable prefixes, and can account for this as a cost of doing business.

Not scaleable. Not scaleable for smaller provider (such as IgLou) trying to get their routes announced, and even more interestingly, not scaleable for the big provider such as Verio and Sprint that would be doing propogation of the routes.

| Is your position, honestly, that a provider the size of IgLou doesn't | *deserve* to have robust network connectivity because we're not big | enough? If so, I'll be sure to avoid purchasing any transit from | you.

I'm saying that if you are in the business of providing transit, you must be prepared to absorb some costs, rather than dump them on your fellow transit providers.

What the hell do you think my willingness to take on the effort of renumbering into fewer blocks of more aggregateable space than what I have now is? I'm perfectly willing to take on the cost and effort of renumbering my network (and imposing renumbering on my customers!) in order to eliminate the 4 or 5 prefixes from the table that I have control over.

Transit from me is a luxury I doubt you need or can afford, but feel free to take my earlier advice: shut up and send a cheque.

You won't get any money from me. Not with arrogance like that. And, yes, we could afford it. -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm@iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456
