At least, we reset sessions on all of our routers that reset last time due to this issue, and not a flinch on $VENDOR's routers that are known to disobey the RFC. All of our (Tier 1, for whatever value you see it) upstreams saw it throughout their networks; this would explain the exceedingly high BGP levels, even discounting the "fragile" edge. -- *************************************************************************** Joel Baker System Administrator - lightbearer.com [email protected] http://users.lightbearer.com/lucifer/
