For the first time we have had to deal with Sprint's routing policy as defined by http://www.sprint.net/filter.htm. Here is the situation. One of our dialup customers wants to access his website in the 206.116.31.0/24 network at another provider. PSI is advertising it as a /24. According to Sprint's routing policy, they do not honour anything longer than a /19 in 206.0.0.0/8 . I am now in the position trying to explain to the very non-technical customer, why he cant reach that site, which from his point of view just seems like I am passing the buck... Anyways, my question is, are their any other ISPs/NSPs that follow the same guidelines. UUNet seems to honor it just fine, as does MCI. Is Sprint more hardnosed than most ? ---Mike ********************************************************************** Mike Tancsa (mike () sentex net) * To do is to be -- Nietzsche Sentex Communications Corp, * To be is to do -- Sartre Cambridge, Ontario * Do be do be do -- Sinatra (http://www.sentex.net/~mdtancsa) *
