Like, don't lie to the (BGP) Customer.  They generally have already
researched the problem and will KNOW when you are.  I'd rather hear a "we
don't know yet" than have some first level NOC monkey make up some story
filled with buzzwords he's heard from upper level NOC monkeys perviously
or to have them blame Tier-1 Carrier-X when from the outside world, I can
reach _ALL_ of Tier-1 Carrier-X's other customers served from the same
POP.
