Not sure about AWS, but if you are a client of Dimension Data cloud, you don't need to do anything. Everything will be taking care off from the provider perspective. Didata will peer with your tier 1/MPLS - acts as CPE...etc I am pretty sure AWS does that for you as well. Else you could spin up a CSR1000v inside the AWS and ask them to connect you.

If you're asking if one can get a provider's router to handle the outside physical part of a DC connection... As an ISP service so you don't need your own router hardware... I was working on this for a recent ex client and asked Level 3 exactly that question. I believe I had the right network guy on the phone and it was a firm no. I was going to check all the other Direct Connect providers but client ran out of $$. If anyone does do that, I would like to know and pass it along to ex client for their information.

It looks like the easiest solution is to just hang a router/firewall at Equinix Ashburn and AWS-DC to that, and then peer it to carriers both IPandMPLS; is there a "native" way to do that from an AWS VPC instead? Any public or private replies cheerfully accepted; will summarize what I can to the list. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
