Re: AS-701 multihop BGP peering session?

  • From: David Barak

AS701 has a published policy of never initiating BGP
sessions with multihop > 2.  

I'd be very surprised if you're able to get them to
change it for you: once you're in the multihop world,
security and load issues become more complex, and
large networks don't particularly want to deal with
those headaches if they can help it.  Maybe you could
offer to pay them more per hop?  ;)

no I DON'T work for AS 701 anymore...
