Anyone care to comment on the fact that the top non-compliant companies never really seem to make any significant changes?--- 11Sep98 --- ASnum NetsNow NetsCIDR NetGain % Gain Description AS174 789 611 178 22.6% Performance Systems International AS2493 373 217 156 41.8% iSTAR Internet, Inc.
Well, two things: (1) PSI acquired iSTAR; (2) most of the clueful people had left or have left iSTAR (myself being one). I have no specific knowledge of PSI's clue quotient, per se. Also of note: all of iSTAR's unaggregated routes are below 206.0.0.0/8, in geographically-assigned /16's (ie, some /24's belong to iSTAR customers, some to customers of other providers), where the %gain is achieved by aggregating in variable-length clumps (eg /23's, /22's, etc), at iSTAR's EBGP borders, since these are not aggregatable internally. And yes, iSTAR does redistribute its IGP into BGP, but only because Cisco's IOS has a limit (200) on how many "network" statements can exist in a router, which is exceeded by their NetsCIDR. :-( -- Brian Dickson, Email: briand () teleglobe net Teleglobe USA, Inc., Tel : +1 703 821 4818 Suite 400, 8251 Greensboro Drive, Fax : +1 703 821 4885 McLean, Virginia, USA, 22102 http://www.teleglobe.com
