No, static route configuration on VZB's part. Because traditional VZB SDSL is configured as a true routed circuit, not bridged or MER, there are no Ethernet MAC headers on my line, instead I just see AAL5 packets pouring out of it, each beginning with AA AA 03 00 00 00 08 00, direcrly followed by the IP header. The destination address field in that IP header is one of my addresses: it's that simple. :-) I've never heard of anyone doing BGP on any DSL, even business SDSL. Don't forget that unless you are one of 50 or so people in the world using V.35, "normal" SDSL users are supposed to use soapbox-style routers from Netopia or (in)Efficient Networks. Those routers are much like the ADSL ones, and most certainly don't support BGP. > Are you utilizing all that > space? If not don't be surprised if some of it gets reclaimed. By VZB? Are you kidding me? Given that even some really egregious abusers ride on VZB, I am really not afraid of them shutting me down. (Reclaiming PA space that's an essential part of a service is a form of shutting someone down.) I readily admit that VZB's reluctance to shut down even the most egregious abusers is one of the biggest things I like about them - I like being shutdown-proof. Heck, there was one time I went without paying their bill for over 6 months (had some economic hardship) and they still didn't even threaten to shut me down! > The resistance to v6 is > amazing. People will stretch v4 for as long as they possibly can. Yup, I'm one of those people. But I have a good reason: I maintain what is essentially an online operating museum of computing history. There is something special about being able to Telnet into a machine that has been in continuous operation since the ARPANET days without a single change. Can't really do that with v6.
