Dear John; 

I have 6 hour MSDP dumps (show ip msdp sa-cache) going back to Thu Mar 29 
00:06:15 2001 (with a few
gaps). Data from before the current month is archived; it's easy to get a 
specific
date, but getting it all would take some effort. Emailed requests are 
welcomed.

What I am not sure is what is needed ? The most recent ? The last month ? Some
distillation of the data ?

Regards
Marshall
