I understand that BBN has recently made AS reconfigurations: Original Problem Description: On Sunday, 12/22/96 during the 03:00 (EST) to 07:00 (EST) maintenance window, BBN Network Engineers will transition BBN Planet/MCI peering from regional AS's (AS200,AS86,AS279, AS560) to Planet's backbone AS (AS1). *** Note #1 This peering change allows us to standardize our routing and expand our redundant peering capacity with MCI. -Golan On Mon, 30 Dec 1996, Philip J.
