Re: Clueful BGP from TW-Telecom/L3

[Micah Croff <micahcroff () gmail com>]

Last I dealt with TW Telecom and BGP we had to explain to them that putting
in a static route on both routers on top of BGP was not desired.  Then they
reconfigured a circuit 30 miles away when trying to turn it up again
causing an outage in our data center.

Sorry, not super hopeful when it comes to TW Telecom.
