Thanks, Justin. Yes, we considered that option, too. But then if one WAN router goes down, the customer will only have connectivity through a single upstream provider. We'd prefer to maintain connectivity to both even if a router fails. Switches in front of the routers is no problem. -----Original Message----- From: Justin Vocke [mailto:justin.vocke@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, August 16, 2013 4:47 PM To: Adam Greene Cc: <nanog@nanog.org> Subject: Re: will ISP peer with 2 local WAN routers? The gotcha with that is then you need a switch in front of the routers. I'd just setup a carrier on each router and run ibgp between.

Hi guys,
I have a customer who peers via eBGP with Lightpath aka Cablevision (AS 6128) and Level3 (AS 3356) and wants to do some dual-WAN router redundancy.
I have heard that carriers will sometimes agree to set up a /29 WAN subnet for a customer and peer with (2) customer routers.
The customer is delaying on providing me with the proper circuit ID & contact information to be able to call Lightpath and Level3 directly and find out if they will do this, so I thought of asking this list.
Is anyone aware if Lightpath and Level3 will agree to something like this?
Thanks,
Adam
