New BGP noise analysis

All,

I hope this isn't too off topic for you, however I have just come across a new
BGP analysis page (more for the fine people at potaroo.net) which provides a
breakdown of the noisiest (in BGP terms) prefixes and AS's.
This seems to be a live analysis of some work presented on at the recent
APRICOT/APNIC conference in Perth.

Hope this provides some valuable info to you.

Anyone here from chase.com?

If so please pass that on to your dns folks. It's causing problems for
people who have dns anti cache poisoning enabled.

As a complementary tool, you might want to review the RIPE BGP Hot Spot tool at: http://www.ris.ripe.net/perl-risapp/bgptool.html

This allows you to track your own ASN and see if you are sending out too many updates.

I've got a customer terminating a McLead and a Sprint DS3 on a single 7507. I'm preparing to break this up into two border routers and I'm a little puzzled by the choice to force router ID to be the IP address of the customer's side of the McLeod DS3. The machine didn't have a loopback when I found it and the configuration shows a lot of BGP book learning and what looks like not much hands on. Is this a requirement for the McLeod side to behave properly? I think not but I'd like to hear it from @mcleod.net - this customer is very finicky and I don't want any 'excitement' during the transition.
