Hey there.. I'd imagine this works fine, but doesn't it leave you w/ inconsistent-as, where you've got a prefix being advertised from the private ASN, stripped & replaced w/ each upstream ASN? I mean, it should work, but is it a very good idea? The inconsistent-as list isn't _too_ big right now, which is good, as each one effectively breaks a number of common path filters. But if that starts to becomes common practice, the list gets bigger and bigger & more filters get broken. ..Dylan > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of > Jesper Skriver > Sent: Friday, April 07, 2000 2:21 PM > To: Daniel L.
