To emphasize some aspect of this for the non-operators on this list: the technical bits of this are manageable. Talking to 500 other ISPs that are not responding to e-mail, do not have anyone in the same time zone, generally lack understanding of BGP, etc. - this is what really costs, and where a well-maintained route server really shines. (And then, there's "poor BGP implementations that just do not scale properly with 600+ peers on the same router"... like, "most of them") If there were only 10 other ISPs at the IXPs we connect to, we could do without route servers :-) Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...?
