Lorenzo, hope that the resets would not cause too much trouble to the peers. Rocky On Thu, 4 May 2006, Lorenzo Colitti wrote:

Hi all,

this morning I had a chat with James on our prepending setup and he seemed to think it was mostly sane. Unfortunately, there seems to be no way to implement what we need to do without causing session resets towards the affected peers (9 in all) when we reconfigure the RRCs.

Since Arife is away for a few weeks and there doesn't seem to be someone to talk to in SED about this, I will be implementing the prepending setup myself. This is a bit tricky, so I wrote a script to do it. (I'm just debugging the script now.)

What I plan to do is:

Today: - Finish debugging script and test on an inactive peer - Find our peers' email addresses (not as easy as it seems) - Tell our peers that we will be performing the experiments - Tell ris-users that those 9 BGP sessions will be reset tomorrow

Tomorrow: - Configure RRCs (this resets the 9 sessions)

Saturday and afterwards: - Perform experiments

Comments?

Cheers, Lorenzo
