http://www.nanog.org/mtg-0206/transit.html http://www.ep.net/ You should contact your local exchange points for the finer details on what's supported as far as transit connectivity. C&W uses prefix-lists for their filters and generally update them on reboots which isn't that often. Genuity uses distribute-lists with extended access-lists and they are updated very often (at least every hour afaik). You can always contact your provider with any filter-related issues, most providers are really good about this (including C&W and Genuity). -dre Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=48360&t=48339 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
