anyone else seeing very long AS paths?

Yep we saw the same, every customer with old IOS had their sessions die
to us at the same time...   That always makes for an interesting time
when watching the NMS system...

We are seeing a much more sane path now:

agg2-sea-A>show ip bgp 94.125.216.0/21
BGP routing table entry for 94.125.216.0/21, version 25944571

Hi,

Yep, we see them too.  Nasty because there are lots of networks  
flapping as the long as-paths are tickling old bug CSCdr54230, so even  
networks not affected by the bug will be getting lots of extra updates.

Anyone with contacts at 47868 ?  Any upstreams onlist that want to bin  
them ?
