So we are splitting hairs with what "peering" means? And I am sure Netflix (or any other content / network / CDN provider) would be more than happy to statically route to you? Doubtful. Dude, put your big boy pants on, get an ASN, get some IP space, I am a smaller ISP than you I am sure and I have both. It's not rocket science. How are other networks suppose to take you seriously if you don't have an ASN? -Mike On Mon, Jul 14, 2014 at 8:51 PM, Brett Glass <nanog () brettglass com> wrote:
Netflix's arrangement isn't "peeering." (They call it that, misleadingly, as a way of attempting to characterize the connection as one that doesn't require money to change hands.) ISPs peer to connect their mutual Internet customers. Netflix is not an ISP, so it cannot be said to be "peering." It's merely establishing a dedicated link to an ISP while trying to avoid paying the ISP for the resources used. But regardless of the financial arrangements, such a connection doesn't require an ASN or BGP. In fact, it doesn't even require a registered IP address at either end! A simple Ethernet connection (or a leased line of any kind, in fact; it could just as well be a virtual circuit) and a static route would work just fine. --Brett Glass At 09:35 PM 7/14/2014, Mike Lyon wrote: So if Netflix was at 1850 Pearl, you wouldn't be able to peer with themanyways cuz u have no ASN?
