[c-nsp] eBGP via loopback

2008-06-12 Thread Steve Bertrand
Hi everyone, I'm having an issue delivering packets in a test environment that I have. To make it as simple as possible, I'll describe what I have with all links disconnected except for the problematic one. My inquiries are not really regarding the packet loss, but more about BGP

My suggestion would be to leave IPv4 for all the core services, routers, maybe even servers, ... and move all cable/DSL users, web-enabled cell phones, PDAs, UMTS cards, (all those not so vital devices) to IPv6. Wouldn't this type of deployment tactic ensure that we would require

Bottom line is that the new version of the Sup is the same price as the old version. No sense in buying the old one unless you just want to make the color scheme on the cards match up. :-) Or unless you have sparing/logistics economies of scale. What I'd give to have spares...

Is multihoming a valid reason even if they can't justify a /24 worth of IP addresses? I would have thought that ASNs were hard to get since there's a finite number of them (currently anyways). Please don't spread FUD. Multihoming has been and continues to be valid justification for ONE

Problem: Since we cannot run BGP on any network smaller than a /24, how do we connect all the networks together, so that we can route internet connectivity to the small subnets (smaller than class C)? I'm very new to this game, but from my understanding I will try. Please correct me if I am

[c-nsp] BGP -- ADSL as failover link

Hi all, Out of curiosity... I have a 100Mb fibre Ethernet connection, and an ADSL connection to a single provider via one router at my end. Currently, said provider maintains an EIGRP setup between our router and their own, so when the LANx connection goes down, our /21 is transits over the
