So changing my search terms a bit to utilizing bgp feeds outbound traffic engineering, returns http://www.caida.org/workshops/isma/0210/ISMAagenda.xml which seems to be near what I want. It certainly provides some interesting reading and ways to measure / analyze the necessary data.Colin Alston wrote:On 2008/11/04 10:32 PM Charles Wyble wrote:Obviously as they are consumer connections, I wouldn't get a BGP feed so would need to download a copy, which has the risk of stale data. Perhaps some sort of multihop BGP setup?I have done some research and found a lot of references to small site multihoming without BGP for link redundancy but not for traffic engineering.I've played with that before. Essentially just EBGP Multi-hop with next-hop rewrites on various community prefixes. Of course I had access to a donor feed, that is probably the largest hurdle.My first job was at a place with a direct ARIN allocation and BGP to Sprint and AT&T. I'm still friends with the remaining ops person and can probably setup a peering session with him. I also have another buddy with the ability to do BGP via Cogent.There is good use in general for a public no-distribute feed but I have yet to find such a thing. Is there a reason for that, or could I bribe my datacenter to give me a feed and then create my own public server with some el-cheapo Quagga and a bag of rainbows for hope?Good question. Perhaps I could peer with my above mentioned sources andhttp://www.quagga.net/route-server.php or http://www.routeviews.org/ (config instructions at http://www.routeviews.org/config.html)That would be a fairly diverse set of views and hopefully sufficient for my needs.By the way I have a wiki page up with the details (more or less what I outlined already) at http://www.socalwifi.net/index.php/Mesh_ExperimentI will write everything up there as well as post back results here.
