Hi Dan, What is the smallest unit? An "APT network" of which one or more are contained in an "APT island"? How do I go about deploying exactly one APT network into an existing BGP AS? What new equipment do I install? What do I attach the equipment to? What external information do I feed into it and how do I get that information? What does it feed into my routing table? What do I remove from my routing table? If you need to make assumptions about the architecture of my existing BGP AS in order to give a concrete answer, please do so. What benefit do I get from being the first APT network? Are there new services I can sell to my customers? Do I save money by having deployed apt? Why should I be the first? What benefit do I get when my neighbor deploys an APT network and we form an island of two APT networks? Are there new services I can sell to my customers? Do I save money by having deployed apt? A-(B-C-D)-E-F B, C and D are APT networks in an APT island. A and E connect to the island with classic BGP. E connects to F with classic BGP. A host in A wants to talk to a host in F. How does that work? Is BGP in the island carrying all of E's BGP over to A and vice versa? Now A wants to talk to C. You've stated that BGP in the island does not contain prefixes in the island's mapping table. How does A get C's prefixes? Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D.
