Er, what does due diligence mean to you? (We're waaaay into no-shit-sherlock territory here) (For the record, I'd consider any operation without an AS number a startup, and my first project, if network availability were a key issue, within any organisation would be to a) obtain one and b) make use of it. YMMV, but some V are more equal then others. Particularly in the current economic climate.) -- Patrick Evans, allegedly Email: pre@pre.org CV: www.pre.org/pre/cv Wheels: Kawasaki ZXR400L9

*grin* That's a problem with the underlying protocol. I get paid to run operational networks, not bleat endlessly about "how much work would it *really* take to implement 24bit AS numbers?" :) Crying about protocol deficiencies is a distant second to keeping a business up and running these days. -- Patrick Evans, allegedly Email: pre@pre.org CV: www.pre.org/pre/cv Wheels: Kawasaki ZXR400L9
