No, AlterNet and MCI are using essentially the same features,
and Sprint uses a couple of them, and lets it be quite well
known how we are using the hacks done for ICM and SprintLink.

We will not be the only people doing bgp confederations.

There are no secrets.

We have no claim on the nerd-knobs (and probably will wish
to disassociate ourselves from some of them eventually :-) )

Ok, so you say we have been arguing apples and oranges.

How do you define an administrative domain?
