I think you misunderstood me. You definitely need prefix filters on the *provider* side, but the CPE doesn't necessarily need them as the impact is hopefully limited to that particular customer. They're always better of course. GG On 8/20/09, Daniel Roesen wrote: > On Thu, Aug 20, 2009 at 08:47:

FWIW, we use BGP to our multihomed customers (even when we manage the CPE), using a private AS. OSPF doesn't have the right toolset to provide protection for inter-network route propogation, and the risk of some customer's CPE screwing up you routing is just too high to go naked.

Thanks again for all of the replies on and off list. As I stated earlier, I didn't not think IGP was the protocol of choice for running to customers, i've just been to many different houses that do actually do this. 99% of all of our customer CPE is not managed by the customer, so that leaves it u

Do not EVER run an SPF routing protocol with your customer. They can insert anything they want into it (due to configuration mistake, malicious intent or third-party hijacking) and your whole network (or at least the other customers) will be affected. Just to give you a few examples: * They could
