I'm having trouble announcing a single /24 from an ASN. ASN is multi-homed to ISP-A and ISP-B, prepending on ISP-B side. ASN in question has one and only one /24 which originally was from ISP-B /17 block. Some ISP only sees path from ISP-A and some from ISP-B and very few sees both paths. Apparently, when we are testing failover, it failed. (can't get to most of the internet, can't VPN in from outside, can't send mails etc.... BGP paht/route disappear from some of looking glasses) After the test, I registered /24 and ASN with RADB and things get slightly better, meaning a few more ISP sees both but majority of them still seeing single ISP path. I've contacted both ISPs and they both claimed they are announcing our /24 to the rest of the world, without manipulation. What am I missing here?

I've heard and seen those filters a few years ago. In this particular case, I've seen a bunch of other /24s (from remote ASs) on the looking glasses. Looks like filters are base on other criteria on top of prefix length and I wonder which criterion this /24 falls into. --- "Christopher L. Morrow" <christopher.morrow@mci.com> wrote:

try a peek at route views and, if you want help debugging, folk will want to know the prefix and the asn randy

routeviews is seeing both paths. 64.9.17.0/24 AS 33105 ISP-A = 701 :) ISP-B = 19094 Thanks ... --- Randy Bush <randy@psg.com> wrote:

You might talk to 701 about why for instance, all I see is your prepended path via 19094 through 3356, 6461, 4323, and 19962. Maybe 701 is only propogating your route to customers? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis | I route Senior Network Engineer | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________

Hmmm.. When /24 gets to those ISP (direct connected to 19094/telcove), shouldn't they prefer 701/mci path? AS-PATH is longer through 19094 than through 701 ... provided that those ISP are accepting/receiving path from 701. --- "Christopher L. Morrow" <christopher.morrow@mci.com> wrote:

depends on their relationship with 701 probably, and their internal decision criteria... they might filter or pref or... who knows :(
yup, looking at route-views.oregon-ix.net there seem to be plenty of paths (47 total reported) Did you open a support ticket with 701?

I opened ticket with both 701 and 19094 when we did failover 2 weeks ago. Both 701 and 19094 insist that they just take the route and send it out to the rest of the world. And at that time, I thought it was RADB problem and agreed to close the tix. Now that RADB is fixed, I'm back at square one with more confusions :( I will open case with both 701 and 19094 soon. I am making sure that I'm not missing a smoking gun. --- "Christopher L. Morrow" <christopher.morrow@mci.com> wrote:

I do see the prefix via both 701 and 19094 (heavily prepended) here in Frankfurt, Germany: 5539 3549 701 33105 12312 3257 7911 19094 33105 33105 33105 33105 5669 286 209 701 33105, (received & used) 8220 2914 701 33105 (and some dupes) Neither one seems to filter wildly; I would believe that you hit aggregate-based (what's an allocation in ARIN terms?) ingress filters somewhere.

Says .. I pick 7018/AT&T. 7018 is accepting 701/mci customer routes. But is 7018 accepting 701/mci customer /24 routes ??? 7018 is definitely accepting 19094/telcove /24 routes because I see 64.9.17.0/24 on ATT route-server (route-server.ip.att.net) So, why is 7018 receiving/accepting /24 from some peers (19094) but not from others (701)??? That .. I can't figure out. __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com

There are a few ISP they are seeing path from 701. But very few compare to prepended path via 19094. e.g route-server.colt.net (2914 701 33105) route-views.bmcag.net (1239 701 33105) --- Jon Lewis <jlewis@lewis.org> wrote:

Hi. How long did you wait to see your block come back during testing? I've seen it take > 60 seconds in some cases. For redundancy with non PI IP space, It's generally only important that the ISP you are getting the IP block from can see both routes, and that it sees it at the same level of localpref. (as path differences are okay, as long as they are consistent.) Since the isp providing the ip space will announce an aggregate larger than your block, you should be reachable as long as they can see both routes to you. -e
