Hi George, No, it was when an AS took their full bgp feed & fed it into their igp (which used RIP, iirc), which generated (de-aggregated) routes into /24's, which they then announced back into bgp... iirc, part of the chaos than ensued was due to a router bug, so that the routes "stuck around" in global views, even after the AS killed their announcements, and even after physically disconnecting from their provider. We told our customers "the Internet is broken, please try again later"...which was acceptable back then. (But I doubt we would get away with just that nowadays... ;-) ) -Scott
