In my experience of trying to work with the deaggregators, quite often the people receiving the e-mails don't understand what the problem is, so transfer the message to the bit bucket. :-( Face to face makes a huge different, but that's close to impractical, and not everyone goes to NOGs to interact with people who are willing to help. > When I did it, Barry Greene and others volunteered their time to review > configs to help ISPs fix their leakages that they may not have known how > to do. The problem is those that leak because they want to leak. There are many who leak because they really have to. There are many who leak because they got 8 Class Cs from the RIR, as was noted earlier; and have genuinely no idea that they are doing something "wrong". Most I'm in touch with are delighted to receive assistance in improving their BGP configurations - as aggregation usually means significantly improved performance and reliability too (they say). > To be successful, one has to not only notify the leaker but also be > prepared to help him/her with their Junos/IOS configs. Absolutely. > Get 4-5 people willing to volunteer 5-10 hours per month and I'm on board. Same here, I'm more than happy to help restart and contribute more time to this effort... Maybe we can think about setting up a Routing Working Group task force or something? Discussion topic for Istanbul? philip --
