Thus spake Randy Bush
but there is an underlying problem. i have a business relationship with my direct neighbors under which we can negotiate traffic patterns. i do not have a business relationship with a 'distant' network. hence i am rather reluctant to allow them to influence my policies when those decisions my be costing me money, or my customers performance, or ...
But you already do...unless you control your traffic patterns explicitely and completely with local-prefs and the like, as-path probably makes the decision for a large portion of your traffic...and as-path length certainly can be influenced by a "distant" network. I understand your point, but its really just a matter of degree. -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm () iglou com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456
