This allowed us to stop running the BGP routing protocol on the mlr router, which reduces mlr's demand for RAM, which makes room for a software upgrade. The changes exposed a BGP configuration problem between NOAA and NCAR. Routes to the Rocky Mountain COOP became unknown to vbnsr. COOP users experienced problems reaching NCAR from between 7:00 to 17:00 today. We worked with NOAA to fix the problem in our respective routers, and the COOP's special shortcut routing to NCAR has been restored. Please let us know if you notice problems. -- Pete
