Someone is on drugs.. We BGP peered with ANS and Sprint via a Cisco 4500 with only 8mb RAM. The trick was the utilization of the Cisco "AS Prepend" feature were we routed distinct Sprint <-> Sprint traffic over the fractional DS-1 they provided, the rest of the traffic over a more local, and less expensive DS-1 connection to ANS. Later as Sprint advertised more routes we bumped the 4500 to 16mb. Patrick J.
