I have a /24 allocated to my by XO Communications in Phoenix, AZ (67.X.X.0/24). I am currently announcing it to Verio in Europe. A friend of mine that is an XO customer in Phoenix with BGP to XO can get to that address block within XO's network.
But on the flip side. I also have a /22 from AT&T (12.X.X.0/22). When I announce that network block to Verio in Europe (and nowhere else), only certain places get to the Europe location. Networks that prefer AT&T go to AT&T's network and die since the route isn't there. I don't know if I am missing something but it think it may have to do with how the network's peering/filter schemes work. I may just be walking around the problem since I am a transit customer of Verio and they normally filter. -Andy --- Phil Rosenthal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Oct 15, 2003, at 5:24 PM, H.
