Issue AS and Subnet Announcment on BGP - Conflict with a major TelCo - RESOLVED

Thu Nov 17 00:31:55 UTC 2005

    Hi,

    1. Get the peers involved.

       We got help from bigger players than them.

    2. Get more specific announcement of the subnets in question.

       Be a good netadmin, don't leave them for too long...

    3. Get your management involved.  They can call upon legal means of 
making it happen.

       Remember to keep the names of the tech/admin you've talk too.

    Worked for us...

Also

    4. ARIN could re-assign the subnet to a new AS, they where very 
eager too help but we didn't need to do it.

    Have fun...
