My upstream isn't very routing friendly. They're also having some issues, but I believe they'll have it figured out soon. A VPN over their network solves all the current issues. Being as though they aren't routing friendly (and don't want to change their whole network to be routing

What do you mean by not routing friendly? Do you mean that they don't provide BGP peering? Or, that they just don't really know what they are doing... Unless you have multiple upstream connections, there is (rarely) any reason to do BGP peering yourself. If you have your own ARIN block, most

They don't route at all anywhere and have no intention of it. I was getting ready to get my own ASN so I could bring in a second upstream for the redundancy and increased performance that BGP provides. I don't yet have my own block as I can't yet justify something that big. I would have to

There is no routing at all anywhere on their network. It's a single broadcast domain with a single router at their upstream. Their upstream does have internal routing. I can obviously route through to the Internet if I'm posting here. My upstream's upstream has AboveNet and recently added

I suppose another idea is to just have both routers on that same flat network. One is on my tower and the other in my provider's demarc with his upstream. I get an IP block from the upstream through my provider and carve out a /30 out of that to link both of my routers. Not knowing where\how
