Re: sprint and multihoming
From: randy@psg.com (Randy Bush) Some weeks back, I whined about SprintLink's policies and implementation in respect to multi-homing. They did not leak the multi-homer's more specific prefix outside of SprintLink. Nor did they accept the longer prefix from outside, hence traffic from SL customers would die when the MHed site's SL link was down.
Me, too....
I just wanted to publicly thank SprintLink, and Hank Kilmer and his team in particular, for fixing this. IMIHO, this makes SprintLink a reasonable choice for a provider if you intend to multi-home.
Hmmm, well, as I reported here earlier, we already changed our ISP contract away from Sprint. But, for my clients, based on your representation that it is finally working, I suppose that I might be willing to at least allow Sprint in future multi-home bids, as long as the contract specifically requires Sprint to be on better behaviour. Thanks for the update, Randy!
