Ahem. http://www.nanog.org/mtg-0110/lixia.html I know of many instances where this has been used to hijack traffic. It's not just a rumor, this is real. AS3847 used to participate in such overbearing rediculous practices (for fun and profit). Announcing inconsistent routes can also have many operational benefits. Most of the "why" is included in the NANOG presentation, but not necesarily the "how". -dre Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=45278&t=45278 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
