Hi, Much as I like to debate RFC 1597 and Firewalls... That is not the topic of this thread.
I was pointing out a useful (to me) hack to verify BGP peering and route generation w/o the need to "expose" routes that I might not be authoritative for.
I would like to know if others think this was/is worthwhile?
If you don't propagate the route, why does it matter? ---Rob

Ah, but I do. Its a TestRoute that carries no other information. This effectivly re-casts this prefix/mask into a tool for testing reachability. Just becasue I have a BGP peer up does not equate to route exchange. Once I send the TestRoute and you ack that it is received, then I have a higher assurance that our exchange works. -- --bill
