Hey All
Quick question: do you allow/run routing protocols between your (isp-) network and your customer? If so: which protocols? If not: what reasons do you tell the customer?
In particular I am interested to know about setups when they want to announce the prefix/subnet you assigned them from your PA-space back to you because they want to run redundant routers.
The setup would probably look like this:
Customer Subnet 10.0.0.0/27 / \ | | [customer router a] - <routing protocol x> - [customer router b] | | <routing protocol y> <routing protocol y> | | [isp router a] - <routing protocol z> - [isp router b] | | \ / ISP Network 10.0.0.0/8
hi Roman,
I would propose BGP on CE-PE link, with some BGP community policy. Then the customer would send you community strings which govern
local preference and announcements of those prefixes.
I made several such policy implementations based on Easynet BGP policy: http://lg.easynet.net/bgppolicy.php This is a very detailed document, and it covers all possible needs for an SP. Typically you only need to implement a part of it.
cheers, stan

Hello Stan
I would propose BGP on CE-PE link, with some BGP community policy.
As far as I understand this document is talking about bgp-setups as a whole. I would be more interested to hear if they would break out a subnet out of their PA-allocation and accept that back over <insert routing protocol of choice here> from their customer.

I've seen that kind of setup (give a chunk of PA to customer, let customer announce it to the ISP in question so that customer can be multihomed)) in various places. The choice of routing protocol just depends on what devices are connected to either side. The preference for it then typically is OSPF, BGP and last RIP and friends.
Greets, Jeroen
sure, they announce a part of your PA superblock, and you route it in internal BGP, and just make sure you don't announce longer prefixes to the outside world. And this community concept is actually helping to do this in an efficient manner.
Pretty much everyone is doing that.

Hi Roman,
Most ISPs would use BGP and typically it would look like this:
ISP-----iBGP_AS100-----ISP | | | | eBGP eBGP | | | | CSR--iBGP_AS65532--CSR Regards, Fadi

Hello Fadi
Thank you for your reply.
Most ISPs would use BGP and typically it would look like this:
That's basically the setup I described. Still remaining my question: which ISPs run setups like that in CH?
Hi Roman,
I cannot speak for others but I would imagine that any ISPs should be willing to run such setups, at least I can confirm in the ISP where I work we do this all the time, for both PA and PI.
Regards, Fadi
