I mean, all those private interconnects are good and fine and all, but with the existing BGP implementations in vendor equipment today, I can see the BGP convergence as this big matrix of relationships of BGP performance of peers routers. On the same breath, why aren't people using route-servers at NAPs? Adrian -- Adrian Chadd "Romance novel?" <[email protected]> "Girl Porn." - http://www.sinfest.net/d/20010202.html
