Provider is solid - but just getting into the actual providing of Internet connectivity (to this point they have just done fiber transport). I have a feeling that by the time we actually switch they will have BGP capability (we're 6 months out right now) - just trying to figure out if I'm able to advertise my blocks on my own without BGP at all, or, if I need to use BGP to advertise them and it just pass on through my upstream. I'm by far not the most familiar with how BGP works. I'll probably just do a whole lot of reading on BGP over the next month or so and get more familiar with it. My current provider just walked me through the config so it was pretty easy J.

That doesn't sound like a provider I would not want to do business with. -- Justin Wilson <[email protected]> http://www.mtin.net/blog Wisp Consulting - Tower Climbing - Network Support _____ From: Jason Hensley <[email protected]> Reply-To: WISPA General List <[email protected]> Date: Wed, 11 Aug 2010 09:14:58 -0500 To: 'WISPA General List' <[email protected]> Subject: [WISPA] Slightly OT - IP addressing question I've got my own ARIN block and right now I'm peered with my upstream running BGP (single-homed). I'm looking at changing providers but the company I'm looking at does not do BGP. I'm a little in the dark on route advertisements, etc, and I don't understand how my block will be accessible if I'm not running BGP with another provider. I have to give ARIN my peers ASNs if I remember right, so what happens if I move to someone that possibly doesn't even have an ASN? Is there some documentation somewhere on this or someone who can help me out a little bit? Thanks! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- WISPA Wants You!
