[AusNOG] HE Routing (not a joke)

[Matt Richards]

I requested a direct BGP session with HE and they had it configured in 
under 10 minutes, received a *lot* more prefixes than from the Equinix 
RS but it hasn't fixed the problem.
I've also set my Vocus transit to no-export to HE, but I suspect this 
will just push it on to my other transit (TPG - anybody know of BGP 
communites for them?)
