Re: dual ISP connections

["James Paterson" <jpaterson () datamirror com>]

We went through this same thing several years back, BGP is a large
hassle that is really not necessary these days, you can get devices made
by several vendors that handle this type of high availability / load
balancing. Radware's LinkProof, F5's Big IP are a couple, and there are
many more. No need for ASN's no need for a full /24 network, it all
works via DNS.

Cheers

Brian,

If the connections are through 2 separate ISP's then you need to run BGP
for routing. As for IP addresses, you need to apply for an AS number and
a /24
(minimum) from the more helpful of your ISP's or directly from the
designated IP allocator for your geographic region (ARIN. APNIC etc).

You must have /24 as the internet routing tables do not support routes
smaller than this anymore.

What is the standard, these days, for configuring dual ISP connections,
so far as routing and IPs go, when your company doesn't own a public IP
range?

I'll go into the details of how they're doing it here right now, but I'd
rather wait to show my ignorance...
