An outage is what it is. I am not worried about outages. We have multiple transits to deal with that.
It is the keep announcing prefixes after withdrawal from peers and customers that is the huge problem here. That is killing all the effort and money I put into having redundancy. It is sabotage of my network after I cut the ties. I do not want to be a customer at an outlet who has a system that will do that. Luckily we do not currently have a contract and now they will have to convince me it is safe for me to make a contract with them. If that is impossible I guess I won't be getting a contract with them. But I disagree in that it would be impossible. They need to make a good report telling exactly what went wrong and how they changed the design, so something like this can not happen again. The basic design of BGP is such that this should not happen easily if at all. They did something unwise. Did they make a route reflector based on a database or something?
