Not this again please !! R2 only advertise this at APE and WIX and don't advertise this to any national carrier in NZ (Telecom/Clear), so yes it goes the long way. This has been discussed for too long in the past.
Either R2 pay for national transit via someone or the carriers peer at APE.

This address is part of the Citylink block that we use for our corporate connection via IHUG: inetnum: 202.8.44.0 - 202.8.47.255 netname: CITYLINK descr: Citylink descr: PO Box 9328 descr: Wellington country: NZ admin-c: CRA1-AP tech-c: CRA1-AP mnt-routes: MAINT-NZ-CITYLINK mnt-by: APNIC-HM status: ASSIGNED PORTABLE changed: hm-changed(a)apnic.net 20031217 source: APNIC For more info on the advertisment of this block see: http://www.ris.ripe.net/cgi-bin/lg/index.cgi?rrc=RRC001&query=1&arg=202.8.44.0%2F22 It's quite separate from the blocks of "WIX and APE" address space.
