But I can ask, (a) why are you doing asymmetrical routing in the first place?For any non-trivial path, it seems to me that asymmetry in forward and return paths is normal. Symmetrical paths are the exception. From another angle, how can anybody hope to ensure that all forward and return paths are identical when the only exit under their control is the one on the outbound path, at their own border? Joe
If this is for their customers, it wasn't clear that the path went outside their zone of control. I did wonder. -- Joe Yao ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message is not an official statement of OSIS Center policies.
