That doesn't sound like the problem has anything to do with their multihop-eBGP configuration - It just appears that whatever you were directly connected to was flaking out. If they had moved you to a directly connected BGP session and it all worked, that would be one argument, but you also moved from a junky 3550 or something to the GSR in the process. I'd argue that if the switch could handle full tables and you just had a single session, you would probably have experienced the same issue. I've ran with both direct and multihop with Cogent, and I honestly never noticed any difference in stability. I hear what you're saying, and I think you have a valid argument in some respects, but I just think the BGP problem is a symptom, not a cause. _______________________________________________ NANOG mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog
