Abha, One of the origins :) of inconsistent routes is improper multihoming -- a network is multihomed but no public ASN is assigned to it; some private ASN is used and stripped off (by remove-private-as) at the edges of the both (or many) ISPs, which results in multiple origin ASs for the network prefix. I don't know how intentional this practice is, though :) The question about how bad inconsistent routes are was also addressed on this list. -- dima. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of > abha > Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2001 7:02 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: multiple origin ASes > > > > > Hi All! > > I'm trying to get a feeling for how often ISPs announce a prefix from > different origin ASes intentionally....
