Re: ATT-Level 3 Peering

[Justin Wilson <lists () mtin net>]

I had a very clueless ATT salesperson tell me yesterday that “Our company policy is we don’t do BGP sessions.”  I have 
a client wanting to use ATT as an upstream and they won’t do BGP (mainly due to clueless sales). If this is the level 
of comp tenancy then good luck.  :-)
