Att is hard to deal with I ran into a situation not long ago where I needed to get a t1 cross connect from one cage to another within a building. They consider floor 3 a CO and floor 7 a different CO. both floors share the same wiring frame room like on the 5th floor. Well they wouldn't allow me to order a cross connect between the 2 floors without having actual cage space on the specific floor even tho they are in the same wiring frame room. On top of that if I wanted to be on the other floor I would have to come in via the outside entrance and do meet point fibers out in the st. btw this is on the telco side what a nightmare... -carlos -----Original Message----- From: Alex H.

From AT&T's viewpoint, it will add more complexity to troubleshoot.

If you pay extra, AT&T may have some solution for you. Alex Antonio Querubin wrote:

We are getting an Ethernet DIA circuit from AT&T but they insist that they can't BGP peer with 2 routers on our side. The WAN circuit can only have /30 they say. Has anyone been able to successfully talk them in to bending their rule? If so, how?

Sounds odd. They do IPv6 tunnels using 2 tunnels/routers. The /30 reason is even more odd for an ethernet circuit.
