I'm sure I can't be the only one that notices the BGP inconsistancies in their route tables.... Seeing the latest NZRR update prompted me to check the BGP tables again... We do not and will not accept route advertisements containing private AS numbers from our peers. The reason we don't is the same reason we don't route RFC1918 space externally... If a customer has their own address space and wants to multi-home, they should also have their own AS. Advertising up private AS numbers that should really remain within the network isn't a solution. Inconsistant AS-paths are bad enough, without creating additional problems... At least we're only seeing 5 class C's being advertised at the APE with inconsistant AS-paths at the moment. Perhaps BGP routing could be a topic for discussion at NZNOG 2005? Cheers, Gordon
