Re: GTSM - Do you use it?

[Merike Kaeo <kaeo () merike com>]

I don't think that's a fair assumption.  A few providers I talked to  
for a security current practiced document I am writing said they were  
deploying it between BGP peers and I recently asked for more  
clarification from some individuals to ensure I had correct info with  
respect to vendors.  There is some support in some J boxes and also  
support in C boxes.  I didn't get specific detail how it was  
deployed, just that is was.
