Problems with specific routing policies for each exchange point

One can use the same AS-macro in the inet-rtr.rs(in|out): as in a policy in
aut-num.as-(in|out):.

I was not questioning the function, only the requirement. It seems
that if the problem exist between NAPNET and GENUITY, it might exist
elsewhere and changing to the specific ASes would be a simple fix.

Are there cases where an AS macro would be really beneficial in the
inet-rtr.rs-(in|out) statements?

Frankly, it's paranoia that causes me to only put specific ASes in the
statements. While I'm willing to let an ISP tell me what ASes they are
carrying, I want to know exactly with whom I'm exchanging routes.

I always thought of Randy as the conservative type, but maybe not as
much as I.

I am. Wouldn't tough a route server with a 10 meter nlri. Solves the
problem entirely.

Randy,

It's my understanding that you want us to disconnect your route
server peering sessions. We will have this done by noon tomorrow.
Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you.

*teehee*

tons of love,

We are utterly indifferent. We give our routes to the RSs so Craig can get
data for statistical purposes. We ask the RSs give our routes to no one and
we do not accept routes from the RSs.

So disconnect any time you wish. No problem.

Support your local (well, net.local) pre- and post-docs! The stats coming
out are useful.

Randy left his sense of humor in his other pants.

And left those at the dry cleaners.

Where they were lost in the fire.
