(a) In the past various Sprint people have suggested multihoming to different SprintLink POPs as a solution to their refusal to hear specifics of their aggregates from peers. Well, with four POPs having problems in the same day, perhaps a better term would be multi-screwed.
We are working on adjusting our multihoming policies such that multihoming with Sprint will be a viable solution for customers.
Excellent news. Is it official? Would you be willing to furnish any further details at this time? Mark Borchers InfiNet Network Engineering NOC: (757) 624-2295 ext. 3007 Disclaimer: My opinions, while sound, may or may not reflect those of the guys who own this outfit.

As pointed out on this list, multihoming with Sprint has two main difficulties. The first issues is that Sprint's aggregation blocks specifics from its CIDR block from going out untouched, even for BGP customers, and the second is the fallback does not work properly since Sprint does not listen to any announcements of our CIDR blocks from peers. Both of these are being addressed and are nearing completion. A more verbose description will be sent when we are actually done (and get some sleep). -Hank
