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.
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.
