A well known and respected carrier is announcing a reserved AS. It didn't break anything here but, the announcement wouldn't make it into anyones tables who was using 64620 in a confederation and as a result, it very well could be breaking something somewhere. Beyond that, it doesn't set a very good example for others. I guess I'll have to rethink my "lower AS = higher clue" theory. 2) It's not what it broke but, what's broken that is allowing it to happen to begin with. It's fairly apparent that someone neglected to add 64620 to a confederation statement. (And doesn't have anything in place to prevent leaking reserved AS's either.) 3) No. I did not contact Digex/ICI directly because: a) I'm not a direct customer. b) I'm not a direct peer. c) The leak has shown up in the IPMA (http://www.merit.edu/ipma/)listings for the past 4 days and it's obvious that they're not monitoring IPMA or don't care. --- John Fraizer EnterZone, Inc
