It strikes me that often just doing a reverse lookup on the peer address would be 'good enough' to keep things more 'local' in a network sense. Something like: 1) prefer peers with PTR's like mine (perhaps get address from a public-ish server - myipaddress.com/ipchicken.com/dshield.org) 2) prefer peers within my /24->/16 ? This does depend on what you define as 'local' as well, 'stay off my transit links' or 'stay off my last-mile' or 'stay off that godawful expensive VZ link from CHI to NYC in my backhaul network...
Well. here's your problem; depending on the architecture, the IP addressing structure doesn't necessarily map to the network's cost structure. This is why I prefer the P4P/DillTorrent announcement model. Alex _______________________________________________ NANOG mailing list NANOG () nanog org http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog
