Re: Surcharge for providing Internet routes?

Do you mean "Full routes" for BGP ? Sometimes there are extra charge for BGP, but never heard about full routes or not. How can they guarantee whether they provide Full routes or not ? If some routes are missing, are they going to provide the credit for it ? Full routes from BGP is always best-

What about 7600-S models ? I think Cisco is claiming that Cisco 7600-S (7606S, etc...) chassis is ready for less than 50 ms switching time with right software. For routing, you can setup graceful restart or something like that. For Cisco ASR9000, I couldn't say much, because it is new product. W

It may be. If the customer is BGP customer, and they have connectivity problem, your traffic will flow into Verizon since Verizon have supernet. But within Verizon network, Verizon router doesn't have specific route info to route into. So you may see time-out as soon as it hit Verizon network. Ale
