Greetings,
We have recently added a second ISP (third if you count I2). Our first "I=
SP" is actually a private state network that peers with two Tier 1 provider=
s. We own an AS number and our IP space but at the last minute learned our=
state network is advertising our network using two different ASNs (neither=
ours) so they can load balance their connections. If you hit the right =
looking glass server you can see our network advertised by three different =
ASNs. We were told by the new ISP that this is a problem but the state n=
etwork says it is not.
Looking for opinions and words of wisdom on this split advertising issue.
Thanks
