That is crazy.... when we turn up new BGP customers, we always put a /29 in place now - for that reason and for others.... saves a LOT of headaches when some changes are needed down the road...;) Paul -----Original Message----- From: Bret Clark [mailto:bclark () spectraaccess com] Sent: Friday, July 10, 2009 2:54 PM To: nanog () merit edu Subject: Re: AT&T and having two BGP peers Cancel the circuit...I know most of the providers I've worked with have a 90 satisfaction guarantee. Chances are if you cancel the circuit they will mysteriously find a way to work with you. Warren Bailey wrote:

The WAN circuit can only have /30 they say. Has anyone been able to successfully talk them in to bending their rule? If so, how? I know this should have been negotiated before signing a contract but I was unfortunately not in the loop... :( It seems like a ridiculous bureaucratic restriction.
