Title : BGP Persistent Route Oscillation Condition Author(s) : D. McPherson, V. Gill, D. Walton, A. Retana Filename : draft-mcpherson-bgp-route-oscillation-00.txt Pages : 18 Date : 03-Jan-01 The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) [1] is an inter-Autonomous System routing protocol. The primary function of a BGP speaking system is to exchange network reachability information with other BGP systems.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages.

but those "clueless folks" are just providing L2 switching and colocation in an essence. My point is -- it is important to whom do you peer at NAP, not who is your "real estate" landlord. Don't you think? Przemek

Well, perhaps that is actually something to think about in a little bit more depth. In particular, the infrastructure that's present, the reasons for chosing it, and the future path to me has a great deal to do with the long term viability of a location and service offered.
My point is -- it is important to whom do you peer at NAP, not who is your "real estate" landlord.
I think it is indeed important with whom you peer, but also where. In fact, none of that reduces the importance on how you peer, where you & your peers are, how they get from a to b, who owns the facilities (real estate, fiber, other telco facilities), where the facility is located, how do you find out that things are well and who you call when something goes wrong etc etc (because it invariably will, nothing's perfect). And there are probably many more questions one should ask.
Don't you think?
Sorry, I disagree. I think there are other details which matter a great deal as well. Cheers, Chris -- Christian Kuhtz <ck@arch.bellsouth.net> -wk, <ck@gnu.org> -hm Sr. Architect, Engineering & Architecture, BellSouth.net, Atlanta, GA, U.S. "I speak for myself only."
