[aprssig] Tier 2 Routing Question

[Lynn W. Deffenbaugh (Mr)]

I'm glad to have it explained at least.  I was thinking that possibly 
something had happened in my recent client upgrade that cause the 
packets to be non-routed through the -IS.  I'll turn on my SEP field 
until the problem goes away.

SEP = Somebody Else's Problem 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somebody_Else%27s_Problem)

 From Douglas Adams book Life, the Universe and Everything:

"An SEP is something we can't see, or don't see, or our brain doesn't 
let us see, because we think that it's somebody else's problem.... The 
brain just edits it out, it's like a blind spot. If you look at it 
directly you won't see it unless you know precisely what it is. Your 
only hope is to catch it by surprise out of the corner of your eye."

They have implemented one feature that is designed solely for core servers which is causing a portion of their feeds are not being sent to the core servers.  They have been informed of this error and we should see it corrected today.
