Is that is needed, what is wrong with that ? Isn't MPLS a form of encapsulation ? Don't the enterprise folks run routing protocols on it ? With carriers today it is very common to deliver L2 connectivity over L3 networks. One does not have to like it...and just because someone else (upstream) does it for one, it does not mean it is wrong......just the nature of networks and growth, solving problems with the available set of tools...

All: I realize this might be a bit of a fool's errand, but I'm trying to determine if Verizon will speak BGP with FiOS business customers. Their website is relatively lean on details. Everything that mentions BGP points to VZB services, which does not appear to include FiOS. Looking at the routing table, I do see several non-VZ ASNs downstream of AS19262, so it looks like it might be possible. If that is the case, could anyone lend any insight to get past the "what is BGP?" response that likely awaits from their salescritters? jms
