I went for one of those $29.95 for three month specials in case I run afoul of some rules prohibiting what I am going to do. I already have a multi-T1 connection with a Class C block and BGP running on my Cisco 3640 router, and was looking to become multi-homed. The cable connection is via bridge/DHCP cable modem, and was going to hook it up to the Cisco 3640. I have already done the research and know from what block of IP addresses I will be assigned, and the BGP route tables/peers. I would like to use BGP to force inbound and outbound routing only through particular peers, Sprint (AS 1239) and UUNET (AS 701). I have been reading "Practical BGP" by Whate, McPherson and Sangli and this appears to be possible. However, do my adjacent routers need to support BGP in order for this to work? Could I use other routing protocols to accomplish this, or would this require knowledge of all possible downstream router IP addresses? Edward W. Ray
