Re: Revealed: The Internet's well known BGP behavior

[isabel dias <isabeldias1 () yahoo com>]

everyone seems to have their saying ....from leting you wonder on what is the problem to making assumptions to witty 
technical explanations and useless question rephrased. For some reading this some are just non-technical individuals 
posting messages.  All can be done ..we all know the BGP selection path algoritm and its extentions ...maybe a costing 
exercice to some that rather have interface X down for a while or reroute traffic through a different path 

Is the problem still occuring? Who's being affected?

PS: going back to the drawing board is also an interesting approach if this is geting too complex ...:-)
