If you have vendor C or vendor J, and all vendor C or J routers crap out at the same time, you're safe. Yes, you were down but so was half of the rest of the world, so it's obviously not your fault but vendor C or J's fault.
Michel.
But this doesn't reflect the way the problems tend to spread: I've seen cases where something which crushes C gets injected, carried by Js across a network, and trashes all of the Cs in the network. However, it didn't spread to other providers, because the problem was { too many /32s | weird masks | an IGP messup | a J bug } For a problem to spread to other networks, it has to be perpendicular to the actual BGP configs, because most carriers apply just enough filtering on their peers to keep garbage like that out. Problems like that seem to be mostly customer-initiated. The ones that spread seem to be M$ related... -David Barak -Fully RFC 1925 Compliant- ===== David Barak -fully RFC 1925 compliant- __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
