I have a customer that wants a 100/1000 Mb/s pipe into our network for our
local customers. This customer is also a customer but he has a dedicated 10
Mb/s circuit to the Internet and is maxing out on bandwidth. Wishes to buy
the 100/1000 Mb/s pipe for our local network access only not Internet. What
is the best way to filter this?
If you're running BGP with this customer, or can do so, you can feed them
your local and customer routes and you can have them announce their blocks
to you over that pipe. Use the knobs that BGP provides, such as local
preference or MED to make the prefixes sent and received over the 100/1000
Mb/s pipe preferred over their normal transit pipe. This will push
traffic between your network and theirs over the higher bandwidth link,
and only use the 10 Mb/s pipe if the larger one is down.
That's a pretty simplistic view of it and doesn't take into account any
other connectivity the customer might have.
