Sure this would be a great idea if you could get them to buy off on the idea that peering is worth a second or third router (~80k router + ~5k port/month). My question is "What about the RA?". :) The whole idea was to remove the load issues, flap and dampening problems, etc from the routers and move it to a CPU only box. Granted there are other things to look at, which we don't need to get into with this thread but at least it would be a temp solution. IMHO. BTW Whoever sent that mail about BBN peering. They just added two more routers to relax the CPU issues at MAE_EAST. You may want to email again. Todd R. Stroup Fiber Network Solutions, Inc.
