If only I'd had the foresight to configure the all of the customers I've setup on BGP with Bogon filters, and more complex routing policies than defaults + provider customer routes, then I would have made mountains of recurring revenue from this "maintenance", and I would be reading this thread in my mountain cabin with beleaguered amusement. Alas, I met the customers requirement, it has to "just work"... And it does. (and yes, on the network I administer at my day job, I bogon/rpf filter and aggressively traffic engineer.) -ejay
