They will almost always prefer their IBGP to any learned routes. Why send traffic to a transit network and skew their I/O peering numbers when you can handle it yourself. I doubt you will change their mind.

I (Healthy Directions) am AS16387, two blocks 63.73.158.0/24 and 63.78.31.0/24, being announced by sprint and Verizon, preferred to Verizon(DS3) over Sprint 3MB. Verizon BGP admins think everything is ok, have not heard back from BGP4 at sprint. Any thoughts appreciated, off-list contact welcome. Edward eb...@healthydirections.com
