We(Waikato) currently still use OSPF on NZIX to collect NZ routes. And this is vital to our traffic metering. A new metering system is being built to use BGP4 to download NZ routes from our traffic provider. Once this has been done, we will be very keen to download NZ routes from major ISPs on NZIX and OSPF can be decommissioned.

Supposing that a general agreement to move to BGP was made earlier than your planned roll-out - presumably as long as Telecom were able to make the NZ table available on OSPF to you, your requirements would be satisifed? There is no particular necessity for us all to speak OSPF, right? I would assume that your particular requirements were an issue between you and your service provider, and not a general exchange issue. Just exploring ideas :) Joe --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
