Alex, there are some promising local isps that have large bgp networks with confederations and the confed behavior is fine. I am not sure what you mean by as path prepending in confederations, but if you are talking about the routers not taking into account the confederation member AS's in the overall as path length when doing route selection, than that is what was expected by most people using confeds. [The question of wether AS_PATH prepending of confed member AS's should matter or indeed if as_path length should matter at all is a different question] As for your link state protocol issue, well, that is what we have today that works (of course depends on how you define work, but its worth several billion USD of revenue a year), so I'll take it till something better comes along. /vijay
