AS701 peer local-pref?

Fri Dec 14 17:01:39 UTC 2001

I think you misunderstood the question - what you have detailed here is a 
list of customer communities that UUNet accepts, what Sean is trying to 
find out is what internal localpref UUNet sets by default - do they 
automatically give prefixes from customers a higher localpref than 
prefixes heard from peers? I don't know for sure, but I'm thinking that 
they do, which makes sense - otherwise it's possible to send traffic to a 
peer when there could be a valid path for the traffic via a customer.
