BGP Peering Info
I am trying to find out if any upstream providers that offer BGP to downstream providers, use any type of "form" ? I am curious as to what type of questions are asked. For example; full route or partial route (if partial, how many), do they offer route reflectors, confederations, multi-homing, or route filters?? If anyone knows of an upstream provider that offers BGP peering and has a form that I could look over, I would greatly appreciate that. Thanx
Here are a couple. Cable & Wireless USA http://infopage.cw.net/Routing/addbgpinfo.html Sprint http://www.sprint.net/maint/bgprequest.cgi On Tue, 13 Jul 1999, Mark Cobb wrote:

Updates can be authenticated and my understanding is that the new prtools support reverse masks and other spiffy features. -- batz Chief Reverse Engineer Superficial Intelligence Research Division Defective Technologies

Interesting statement #1: What routes do you want to hear from us? Backbone Routes (2 routes) Customer Routes (approximately 11,500 routes) Full Routes (approximately 35,000 routes)
Interesting statement #2: Option Number of Routes CPU/Mem. Requirement No Routes 1 (default) 2501/3000 or equivalent Partial Routes 20,000 2501/3000 or equivalent with 16+meg memory Full Routes 45,000 4000 or equivalent with 64+meg of memory I'm not trying to point out an error, although they should be updated. It's just amazing how quickly things get out of date and don't get updated. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell@ufp.org Systems Engineer - Internetworking Engineer - CCIE 3440 Read TMBG List - tmbg-list-request@tmbg.org, www.tmbg.org
You can say that again. I tried taking partial routes from Sprint with a 3640 with 32MB. Crash! They are providing 60K routes on a partial view these days. I just bit the bullet and paid for 128MB for all my BGP speaking routers.... - Dan Golding ----- Original Message ----- From: Leo Bicknell <bicknell@ufp.org> To: Nanog <nanog@merit.edu> Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 1999 9:13 AM Subject: Re: BGP Peering Info

So no only does Sprint not insist on filtering the prefixes announced by customers, but they broadcast the fact that they don't through this form. -Phil
