I am going to use two DIA 10Gbps circuits for this. Both connect to the IX, I need two physical connections and more than one 10Gbps feed for redundancy and traffic usage.
I use over 5Gbps now, and I don't really trust one of my transits to go the full 10Gbps full time (thought that's what I'm buying, but they do it on a switch MPLS "Parade Route"). So I'm splitting the traffic, don't really care how it ends up routing but I'll take full tables from both on two separate routers, again for redundancy and some amount of traffic shaping at the border. I'm curious to see what happens when I actually get this going full tables. It's possible I'll mess up some BGP filter and run a BGP loop through the IX, lol! Just kidding, I do know enough to prevent that between myself on BGP. Both my transit providers have rack space to rent, so I could just have installed a router or switch and two cross connects (and VLAN it or whatever). But what makes sense to me in my configuration is install a BGP full tables border device at each rack and maybe cross connect them there? Going back to switch aggregation, that's super cheap now days. You can get a used Cisco 48 port SFP+ switch with four QSFP ports for like $400 shipped from ePrey. -----Original Message----- From: AF <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Matt Hoppes Sent: Thursday, December 19, 2019 5:44 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [AFMUG] IX and Commodity Internet For those of you picking up services at an IX, why method are you using to get commodity internet since your transport circuit can only cross connect to one location? -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
