Several weeks ago, there was an official DDN management bulletin assigning everybody new core gateways to talk to. At the time, I thought we were supposed to change our EGP peer to be the gateways mentioned there. I have tried doing this, but neither of the gateways mentioned in the message will respond to attempts to acquire them. Just for reference, the ones we were assigned were 10.7.0.20 (dcec-milnet-gw) and 10.2.0.80 (sac-milnet-gw). The ones we are using now are 10.7.0.63 (bbn-net2-gateway) and 10.2.0.37 (purdue-cs-gw). Am I misinterpreting the request somehow?

Yep! Charles, the list that came out in the Management bulletin was just the primary and secondary mailbridges you were assigned to. Your EGP peers don't chane. The LSI 11s don't even speak EGP (err... the 7 mail bridge LSIs don't at least, the rest may by now.) Mike

You're misinterpreting. The DDN Management Bulletin in question was an updated list of ARPANET and MILNET Mailbridge homings. (Mailbridges are the gateways that transfer traffic between the ARPANET and MILNET). Mailbridges have nothing to do with EGP, so you should continue to use the same EGP peers you were using. --Pat.
