Actually, we just became multihomed last month. I'm not aware of any
problems getting to other parts of the net, and definitely no problems with
C&W.
[Also, my apologies if this a newbie BGP question]
I started looking at the RADB, but haven't got ourselves setup yet. Does
anyone actually deny routes which aren't listed in the RADB? I guess what
I'm really asking is how important is it to be in the RADB? Does it get
more important sometime soon?
I would also tend to think [based on limited BGP knowledge] that it would
only be a problem if your direct upstream used the RADB or if your upstream
is RADB filtered by their peers. Is this true?
