Re: Verizon FiOS - is BGP an option?

2012-03-14 Thread Keegan Holley
In defense of the tier 1's it's not as easy as it looks to run BGP with the lower end business customers. On the technical side the edge boxes and links to them would be as overloaded with routes and peers and all of the other PE boxes in an ISP network. Not to mention the changes in routing

What is the next hop of the route? There should be an IGP route for the next hop in the iBGP default. It should have a label or LSP attached to it. How was the default generated? Does it come from a provider? If so you may have to set next hop self on the router that receives the default.

Most of the time no. ISP A and ISP C probably don't have alot of traffic destined for each other's AS's. Without other peers in an IX sort of model the link would probably be mostly devoid of (useful) traffic. Although, if ISP A and C were small regional ISP's and they could get free peering
