Dear all Something I don't understand and would like you to help. 1/ for the url: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/network/2002/08/12/multihoming.html I don't understand those 2 steps: - Register your routing policy in a Routing Registry. - Use looking glasses to see if your announcements are visible elsewhere on the Internet. How can I register the policy? and how can I use the looking glasses to check? 2/ I saw article. "a full BGP feed is about 110,000 routes." Do you have experience that AMD64 with 3G memory in Unix Box can handle it? Thank you very much and appreciate much for your help

I've done it on a soekris box, that is, a 266MHz Geode CPU with 128MB RAM, using OpenBSD and OpenBGPD... -- Henning Brauer, BS Web Services, http://bsws.de hb@bsws.de - henning@openbsd.org Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity. (Dennis Ritchie)

If you'll look a what the route-views boxes do, a bigish pc based server can take 45 full feeds with minimal performance implications. They're dual p4 boxes with 2GB of ram. They do not of course make forwarding decisions based on that information.

You'll have to register the route-object with your local RIR (probabely APNIC if you are .hk based?)
- Use looking glasses to see if your announcements are visible elsewhere on the Internet.

My advise? Use the AMD64 for something else (database, mailscanning, high-end webserver, ...) and use whatever you have from old hardware. The main issue is memory: it is might be possible in 128MB ram, it should be possible in 256MB ram and if you have 512MB ram, you have more than enough. If course, this also depends on what amount of traffic you expect: aside from the memory, an old box with bad NICs will have a hard time pushing 10Mbps, while a new box with good NICs and a decent OS will forward about anything you throw at it.

How can I register the policy? http://www.radb.net/register.html http://www.arin.net/library/faq/rr.html
Here is a list of IRRs: http://www.irr.net/docs/list.html
and how can I use the looking glasses to check? http://www.traceroute.org/#Looking%20Glass
2/ I saw article. "a full BGP feed is about 110,000 routes." That number is old, it's almost 150000 now: http://www.cidr-report.org/
Do you have experience that AMD64 with 3G memory in Unix Box can handle it? Uh, probably... =) For what purpose will this box be used for?
