I spoke to a sprint salesperson about 2 weeks ago and was told that I could not get any kind of BGP4 peering with Sprint unless I had a Cisco 7000 series router.
Someone is on drugs.. We BGP peered with ANS and Sprint via a Cisco 4500 with only 8mb RAM. The trick was the utilization of the Cisco "AS Prepend" feature were we routed distinct Sprint <-> Sprint traffic over the fractional DS-1 they provided, the rest of the traffic over a more local, and less expensive DS-1 connection to ANS. Later as Sprint advertised more routes we bumped the 4500 to 16mb. Patrick J.
