BB advertised routes and grading scripts

Hello,

Without jeopardizing NDA, I have read that pings to backbone devices were
disabled and that perhaps recently that has changed. For BGP and IGP
reachability scenarios, is having the BB IGP / BGP routes in the RIB a
qualification for the completed task? Or, with BGP for example, with sync
disabled and non-speakers in the path, I assume we would need to verify
connectivity to the BB with a traceroute. I'm trying to understand what is
expected, in the ASET labs there was an IPv6 task that clearly did not work,
but the routes were advertised as expected, and that was the desired result.
I have no issues with going to the proctor many times, but if I could save a
trip or two, that would be cool.

Thanks,

-ryan
