Subject: routing to COOP glitched today

This morning, we moved our end of a connection to NOAA/NIST from our
mlr router to our vbnsr router.  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.
