RE: (ASCEND) BGP 4 ?

We are fixing the interface numbering as I've stated many times. It is quite a large undertaking but is essential. I will post, as promised, our proposed fix to see if it jibes with what you all are expecting. 

The issue of dialed interface handling is not done well by any vendor. Every implementation has shortcomings. If I am wrong about this please correct me. All input on this issue is desired. The IETF certainly does not have a reasonable implementation either. They are forging ahead with the notion that every VC should have and an ifIndex. What do you do with a box like the TNT that can handle a T3? Traverse 672 interfaces? That will take 3 or 4 minutes.

Ive been wanting the ability to have fixed if numbers for snmp 
management for ages too!

Other than that, the interface kicks on anything else we've used

eg: ACC/Newbridge!
