LIRs don't and cannot know all the gear out there and configurations from network to network vary. This doesn't stop route leaks, nor would this protect us from intentional mischief. I'm not saying it can't happen, but most leaks are caused by accident, and I might add by trained personnel and untrained personnel alike. Many of the suggestions that we've been seeing regarding this subject have pros and cons, but some even solve both problems: both accidental and intentional leaks. I am not against training personnel, but your solution doesn't resolve either of the above for the most part. > -- Arnd Randy
