AT&T (AS7018) customer triggered blackhole routing?
Does anyone know if AT&T (the old one, AS7018) has customer trigged blackhole routing? I looked in the copy of the BGP policy I have from 04/2005, and see nothing about it, and cannot find the updated online version. Off-list replies welcome.

I really doubt it. Last time I talked to a couple of AT&T sales engineers, they didn't even support selective prepending based on communities. It actually took a while to find one the concept could be explained to. BTW... http://www.nanog.org/aup.html Acceptable Use Policy ... 7.

mci/vzb sales folks as a whole can't explain it either, but we offer it... I'd suspect if the original poster would have used a more legittimate email address they might have recieved a directed note back from one of the several ATT nanog-readers... (note, of course there are always sales folks that CAN explain these things, but in general they end up asking a tech person inside their company... or we hope they do) -Chris
