Re: will ISP peer with 2 local WAN routers?

Time Warner installed a Juniper EX4200 as the CPE device for us, so we connected 2 routers and had two separate BGP 
sessions. They have us a /29 to accomplish it.

The gotcha with that is then you need a switch in front of the routers. I'd just setup a carrier on each router and 
run ibgp between.

Hi guys,



I have a customer who peers via eBGP with Lightpath aka Cablevision (AS
6128) and Level3 (AS 3356) and wants to do some dual-WAN router redundancy.



I have heard that carriers will sometimes agree to set up a /29 WAN subnet
for a customer and peer with (2) customer routers.



The customer is delaying on providing me with the proper circuit ID &
contact information to be able to call Lightpath and Level3 directly and
find out if they will do this, so I thought of asking this list.



Is anyone aware if Lightpath and Level3 will agree to something like this? 



Thanks,

Adam
