Valery, Just when I think that I understand things, I find out how little I know, or how little I should trust my instincts. I'll try to translate some North American idioms for you below. Anyway, MSU's difficulty should be finished now. --Steve At 12:13 PM 2/06/95, Sean Doran wrote:

Actually, what happened in this case was a typo in a filter list on icm-dc-1 which blocked the announcement from the Dante 4000.

One or more of us here is at fault for accidentally adjusting things in the wrong way. Chalk up another round to fat finger syndrome... ^^^ ^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^ = bad typing mistakes (from fat fingers)

Some automation for updating some of AS 1800's configuration is in the works, so hopefully ^^ ^^^ ^^^^^ = in progress

this won't be a recurring problem after that's done.

We did have some difficulty in tracking this down initially, as we had no idea who should have been announcing AS 3058 routes to AS 1800, and the filter-list appeared good at first glance.

Dante looked into things on their end over the past couple of days, and informed us that they were announcing things to us OK and that things looked OK on the Dante 4000 in D.C., and asked us to re-check the filter list.

Sure enough, they were right, and the 120 line filter-list had a botch near the end. ^^^^^ = mistake

This was fixed this morning (D.C. time) and routing in this case seems to be working OK.

A note went out to the people directly involved earlier today.
