RE: UUNET service

In the cisco router, if you configure a aggregate route under 
bgp, it will be pointing to null0 to prevent this senario from 
happening. So my question( not related to attitude)is:Is this 
because of the aggregation?

-ns


No.  This is because the customer's router has no better way to get to their
own network than to go to their default, which is UU.  Were there an
aggregate configured, with no contributing route remaining to the aggregate,
the same behavior would occur because the aggregate would go away.

Simple scenario - UU static to the customer for net X
                        customer static default to UU
                  customer link to net X fails
                  customer router uses next best path, which is default to
UU

This is quite common, actually.

Subject: Re: UUNET service

To me, that looks more like an outage (now fixed) on a 
customer network. The 'loop' between 
500.Serial2-11.GW4.BWI1.ALTER.NET and 
core62007-gw.customer.alter.net, could likely be caused by 
UU's customer advertising an aggregate route to UU, but not 
actually having a route to the IP...so they default back to 
UU, and UU sends it back to the customer.

This was likely a problem on the customer's network, so why 
should UUNet take a trouble report from you?  Not only are you 
not _the_ customer, you're not even a customer, and it's 
likely not a problem they can do anything about.  If it really 
were a UUNet problem, they probably assume their customer will 
report it.

if you do

ISPs couldn't possibly know anything...


In case someone at UUNET reads this here is the traceroute.
