Thread Index RE: [isp-bgp] IX core - public or private ASN?
I would agree completely with the route server idea... gives much more scalability while centralizing most guts of your BGP configuration... if we're thinking of the same method of implementation ;) I'm in the process of converting to route servers now in our network...

What's the topology? If it's switched, you may want to consider route servers rather than routers, as many of the route server software tools allow the ability to hide their own AS, in which case private or public ASN won't make much difference. If it's routed, I'd lean toward public ASN since it'll be visible in the AS path, or consider whether it'd be better to simply route between the subnets and let the participants peer with each other. Adding to the AS path length may cause networks to de-prefer your IX without copious tuning. pt _______________ ______________ To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
