Hey Luke,<br>
<br>
Be very interested to see how you find this tool. Was talking with<br>
these guys when they were still beta, but never got a chance to have a<br>
trial / play.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Ross<br>

Hi Alex,<br>
<br>
I haven't got any new or unheard-of solutions here so will be watching<br>
replies too - I use smokeping to alert, however have been trying to figure<br>
out how to use conditional advertisements on Ciscos to withdraw routes to<br>
peers that are not behaving. I've run into obstacles since I don't receive<br>
global tables from most of my peers and I've messed around with using<br>
scripts initiated by smokeping to withdraw and re-insert BGP advertisement<br>
based on packet loss, however that's purely experimental and I've since<br>
junked the attempt as a bad/error-prone idea.<br>
<br>
With Regards,<br>
<br>
Richard<br>

Subject: [AusNOG] Checking peering<br>
<br>
Hi<br>
<br>
So after the issue with Vocus recently, I wonder how do people test weather<br>
a peer is good or bad.<br>
<br>
I have had a few issues where my link to a peer is okay, BGP is okay, but<br>
because of issues downstream my end to end connectivity was down.<br>
<br>
So now I am looking at how I can monitor this.<br>
<br>
My basic tool set is ping availability and times<br>
Also there is customer feed back<br>
And application feedback<br>
And msg from ISP (hazard notice etc)<br>
<br>
I know cisco has some sort of monitoring and bgp tuning that it can do. But<br>
I don't have cisco devices.<br>
<br>
So what are other people doing/using?<br>
<br>
Alex<br>
