sprint and multihoming

Thu Oct 17 06:02:00 UTC 1996

Some weeks back, I whined about SprintLink's policies and implementation in
respect to multi-homing.  They did not leak the multi-homer's more specific
prefix outside of SprintLink.  Nor did they accept the longer prefix from
outside, hence traffic from SL customers would die when the MHed site's SL
link was down.

I just wanted to publicly thank SprintLink, and Hank Kilmer and his team in
particular, for fixing this.  IMIHO, this makes SprintLink a reasonable
choice for a provider if you intend to multi-home.

Thanks SL.  Thanks Hank.
