What is BCP re De-Aggregation: strict filtering /48s out of /32 RIR minimums.

Hi, I am hoping for a bit of advice. We are rolling out IPv6 en mass now to peers and I am finding that our strict IPv6 ingress prefix filter is meaning a lot of peers are sending me zero prefixes. Upon investigation I determine they have de-agregrated their /32 for routing reasons / non

I've had issues and experience with many types of UPSes, including HP (probably OEM'd from someone else), APC, EATON/Powerware, and Liebert/Emerson. I keep coming back to APC. Solid units, and are always slightly 'ahead' in technology. Sure, I've seen each model have failures and even faults

Hi, Yes, but a multi-homing customer would have PI space from an appropriately filtered block allowing /24 PI v4 or /48 PI v6. An ISP would have their own RIR PA allocation /22 to /19 v4 or /29, /32 v6 block that are from blocks that follow along the lines of minimum assignment size for that

Are these UPS units going inside the racks? Would it not be better to do something in the power room with an inverter on the circuits that feed the racks, such as a large Outback unit with sufficient battery capacity? http://www.amazon.com/OutBack-Inverter-3600-Watts-Volt/dp/B002MWAAYU With one

Hi, Yes, nice. But... It does not address the case when this is not the ISPs customers but the ISP (read content provider) that operates globally but without a network interconnecting their routers. They then advertise a /24 v4 and /48 v6 at each Internet exchange that they are connected to.

Well I guess someone is already working on it, +1 Since this is a relay-only message, though. I think it would be better as a sub-option of RFC 6422 with a requirement that relay-agents drop the option if the client tries to source it. But, I guess it's splitting hairs. On Wed, Nov 14, 2012
