Generally, most dedicated hosting (renting/leasing the exclusive use of a computer in their facility) outfits aren't setup to speak BGP to individual servers/customers. Such a request is usually infrequent enough that it doesn't warrant setting up the added hardware. While you could have your provider announce your space for you, you'll loose the fine-grained control over how that route gets announced once the routing is out of your hands. > This is important and if doesn't works then I would have to find a new > place for dedicated server somewhere in California. I would instead recommend looking for a colocation provider that will host small installations (1 - 5 U), but is also savvy enough to speak eBGP with their customers. Cheers, jof
