Dedicated Server and IP anycast provider recommendation
Friends, For those that may have used or know of a service like this. I know some exist, but it doesn't seem to be that popular or widely advertised as a standard service. I'm interested in pointers to a hosting/network provider that leases dedicated servers and can provide an anycast IP address assignment to two or more US-diversely connected POPs, but with reasonably consistent routing (e.g. peering, transit). A customer-shared prefix is OK. I'm interested in pointers to networks that would provide the prefix and handle all the routing. If you represent a network and sales is part of your job, I don't mind an off list pointer to a web page describing such a service, but please, this is not an invitation for "call me to discuss needs and options" replies nor an opportunity to get me on your customer prospect list. You likely ensure I never do business with you if you do either of those things. :-) Thank you, John

Depending on the details of what you're after, Packet Host and/or Vultr might suffice. They do BGP, IPv4 & IPv6 even. They have various flavors of servers, some of which might meet your definition of "dedicated". I do a little BGP-based anycast DNS with both of them, with pretty decent results. ________________________________________________________________________ Jay Ford, Network Engineering Group, Information Technology Services University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA 52242 email: jay-ford@uiowa.edu, phone: 319-335-5555

I can second Vultr. Their BGP+VPS product is inexpensive, it worked right the first time and it has continued working properly. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin ................ herrin@dirtside.com bill@herrin.us Dirtside Systems ......... Web: <http://www.dirtside.com/>
vultr ? Is this the same vultr that appears to be hosting a lot of Sony PlayStation games ? I've been tshooting PS4 CGNAT issues and seeing my test ps4 gaming console connecting to Vultr owned /27 address space all over the US.... Chicago, Miami, Seattle, etc Aaron

As mentioned https://www.packet.net/ is the MaaS provider that fits the bill. You can optionally order servers like this from HE and other IXPs for a price. On Tue, Aug 7, 2018 at 8:51 AM John Kristoff <jtk@depaul.edu> wrote:

Not sure you're still looking for something, but there's this spreadsheet that has a few pointers: http://bgp.services/

Not quite a dedicated server, but may meet your needs anyway: https://cloud.google.com/load-balancing/ Damian On Tue, Aug 7, 2018 at 6:50 AM John Kristoff <jtk@depaul.edu> wrote:
