Good thing this router isn't in production yet, but unless I'm crazy, Telus is having a bad day: *>i0.0.0.0 64.201.161.218 100 0 20161 852 i Can anyone who's directly connected to AS852 verify before I call them and.. uhm.. recommend my consulting services? BTW: Just going to mention that is router is pre-production so I haven't put my bogon filters in yet, incase anyone wants to harp on me for not filtering this nonsense. BBTW: If anyone from TeraGo reads this... uhm... well, you know the drill...

It's quite common for providers to advertise default route to bgp customers. If you don't want it, 1) ask them to change their config 2) filter it If you ever get stuck on low memory or having to a split AS, it may be of value to have default route to hold things together.. - jared -- Jared Mauch | pgp key available via finger from jared@puck.nether.net clue++; | http://puck.nether.net/~jared/ My statements are only mine.

Agreed, but in this case it's just a matter of BCP. My provider takes a default from Telus. If I wanted to a default from that provider (who is already taking a default from Telus), should best practice be such that the default is sourced from my provider's AS, not Telus'?

Absolutely. In this case, I hadn't dropped my filters in yet so it stuck out like a sore thumb.

Yup, been there, done that too...
