That appears to be a margin that is far above keystone. How > greedy do you want to be? > Roeland, I don't think you're following the arguement here. What he was contending was accepting /24's into his routing tables from the global routing table that were generated by someone ELSES microsegment BGP speaking customer. > |> All others can > |> pay me to do it if they want me to. Your rights end at my network. > I agree that nobody has a "right" to have their prefixes listed in my routing tables unless they're a direct customer of mine. Then again, it is my obligation to my customers to show them a full view of the net and if we're talking about microallocations vs someone carving up a CIDR block and their customers announcing a /24 out of it, I have to accept them to reach them unless I'm pointing default somewhere. [blah] Small blocks that are carved out of Carrier-X's /16 and announced as /24's don't count. They're reachable by the aggregate even if I don't accept the longer prefix. So, unless something changes, we'll be accepting /24 and shorter prefixes from any blocks that the RIRs assign /24's from if we want to provide a full defaultless view to our customers. > BTW, randy's position is rather strange, coming from someone that used to > support the FidoNet community, by being the FTSC chair. > Politics change.
