Whoa! Is this going to affect your BGP peering with CERFNet as well ? We are BGP4 capable as well, but please coordinate with our NOC if you are going to announce an aggregate on a Friday afternoon :-) Paul Traina writes:

I'll be happy to feed you an aggregate tonight if BARRnet is now CIDR capable. You have permission to withdraw our more specific routes the microsecond our other service providers announce that they are all prepared to advertise the aggregate.

Does that mean I can switch the cisco-BARRNet BGP to version 4?

We are running BGP4-capable code on all BARRNet routers which matter, so we're ready to go at any time.

Longest match routing.

Bet seen.

Likewise.

I'm upgrading the routers right now.
