reasonable route for your prefixes. According to one of their top people, prefix-lists were unreliable new technology. We gave up and canceled the circuit.
Genuity does use prefix lists (at least now). And, in my experiences with them is extremely fast in their turn around time to update these.

Genuity - first class provider, I would recommend them What transit provider doesnt use prefixes? Do you think they're mad enough to accept anything you send them? And yes, they update the filter within minutes of you confirming the request with them .. I have suggested they could build the filters from RR but a quick email isnt the end of the world i guess..

It's a PITA when you sell transit your selv, and build your own filters based on the IRR's. We have been a happy Genuity customer for years, but are seriously considering cancelling our connection to them, as it's too much work to manually get the prefix lists updated. /Jesper -- Jesper Skriver, jesper(at)skriver(dot)dk - CCIE #5456 Work: Network manager @ AS3292 (Tele Danmark DataNetworks) Private: FreeBSD committer @ AS2109 (A much smaller network ;-) One Unix to rule them all, One Resolver to find them, One IP to bring them all and in the zone to bind them.
