GGC shared this with me: The BGP session and aggregated interfaces seems stable now, however earlier, we've seen all interfaces on the path to 206.108.255.4 flap. We'll re-check it after some time to verify that this is no longer happening. Any log entries on the IX’s switch that give a hint as to why the links are dropping?

Not all implementations of communities are as detailed as you can get bilaterally. There is also one less point of failure when not using routeservers.

Their peering site says the following: Although Google connects to Internet Exchange route servers where present, Google prefers to establish direct BGP sessions for traffic exchange.

Their website shows Minneapolis being one of their Edge POPs but they're using their less common AS 36040 here. Anyone know why we're not as cool as the other IX's they're on with 15169?
