Hi Folks, Here's another circumstance worth mentioning. This particular one is an undesirable case that exists in BGP today. It would be better if it didn't work. When I get to procedural aggregation, it'll be important to consider whether my notions make this scenario worse.
You have three networks: A, B and C. A peers with B, B peers with C. A-B-C You have a customer, W. W buys transit service from A (gige) and B (T1). A-B-C | / W W announces 10.1.2.0/23 to B and announces 10.1.2.0/24 plus 10.1.3.0/24 to A. Because W is a customer, B announces 10.1.2.0/23 to C but as soon as the packet arrives at B from C, B sends it to A because of the more specific route it heard from A. This allows W to draw a gige of traffic through B even though he's only paying for a T1. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D.
