Yeah, that was basically the "route" I had been going through. I have two upstream ISPs that get my routes fine, and that I get the routes from them fine. But I tried probably 20 different bird config versions (using pipes, filters on the pipes, not using pipes, filters on the table itself, and he never got anything to show up. I think I'm just going to maybe call it a problem on his end, maybe his cisco router was not set to accept my ASN or something I guess. Just seems weird, curious if there was something basic that I was overlooking. But it doesn't sound like it. The intercepting of packets was a good call for troubleshooting too, but the client already moved on. I was just trying to do a postmortem on the situation to see if it really was my fault for some reason. I actually think I'm going to pick up an old Cisco switch and set up a BGP session between it and my bird router on that port, just to be 100% sure that everything was set up right on my side. If I do find anything though I'll pass it along. -----Original Message----- From: "Christian Lyra" <lyra@pop-pr.rnp.br> Sent: Monday, April 1, 2013 2:48pm To: "bird-users@bird.network.cz" <bird-users@trubka.network.cz> Subject: Re: Got to ask, any ideas? Hi, I would check the basics... do you have a route for the networks you are exporting? The cisco router has a route to the gateway of the exported networks. From where came the routes (from the router itself or you learn it from another procotol/peer)? On Mon, Apr 1, 2013 at 6:29 PM, <dspazman@epicup.com> wrote:
They were running a cisco router. They would do this:
show ip bgp neighbors X.X.X.X received-routes
And get:
Total number of prefixes 0
Apparently. I never saw it, but that is what they would tell me.

Yeah, it showed all 4 routes as exported.
The only thing else I could think of was there was a level 2 smart switch between the two routers (mine and theirs). I wouldn't think that would make any effect, as the machines could ping each other fine and establish a session fine.
How do you know they didn't receive those routes? Do you have output from their
#show ip bgp neighbor <ip>
#show ip bgp neighbor <ip> routes
