This is correct (so is the rest that I didn't quote!). So, this: At 10:06 AM -0700 10/18/96, Bill Fenner wrote:
Netstar no longer uses their own modified gated; you can run whatever release of gated you like. The magic now happens below the routing socket, as opposed to in gated itself.
is both right and wrong. It's right in that Ascend (nee Netstar) has moved the "magic" to its (IMO) proper place below the routing socket. It's wrong insofar as they have been investing in improving and extending the gated they provide, to make it more stable and full-featured (we've added communities, aspath-prepend, route reflection and various other ISP-oriented features, also various bug fixes). Followups to this thread should probably be moved to private e-mail, or to gated-people () gated org.
