Hello,
Recently I have been told that some ISP's are automatically or maybe manual=
ly modifying their BGP inbound prefix listing after a network is not advert=
ised to them for a period of time.

So the questions I pose to the group:

1.       Is this normal?

2.       Can anyone share your policies?

3.       Who does it?

4.       How often?

5.       Is it automagic? Or the dirty work slaved off to the junior engine=
er in the corner somewhere?

a.       I know you probably won't trust that junior engineer, but some do.=
...

Anyway just a little research after a small problem a customer recently had=
.


Thanks,
Jim
