cool beans. employment security for level-3s at the noc. makes it really fun to debug when packets come from places different where routes go. good job.
Aw, come on Randy. It's not like it's rocket science. The routes do go there, after all. A "show ip bgp w.x.y.z" on the TC router will show your router as the next hop. The routes go right there, it's just you're not on that end of the world. How do you debug problems with a multihomed customer on the end of a serial link when you can't see their config? In another thought, what if the "offender" is not a transit customer, but the same provider. That is: +----------+ | +----Router 1 | Switch | You-----+ +----Router 2 +----------+ Now, Router 1 and Router 2 are the same AS, and in fact the same provider. You only peer with router 1, but they dump the routes to router 2, and don't set "next hop self". Is this bad? You agreed to peer with them. Does your peering agreement restrict them to one router as the source? -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell () ufp org Systems Engineer - Internetworking Engineer - CCIE 3440 Read TMBG List - tmbg-list-request () tmbg org, www.tmbg.org
