Ok, so here's what we would need to do: 0. Verify that the beacon prefixes 73.0/24 and 89.0/24 are free 1. Send email to them telling them that we will: - Use one RRC (RRC07) - Setup an IBGP peering for them on RRC07 - Relay their announcements - Point them to the software to announce their routes. 2. We ask them to write a short email describing the experiment and their announcement schedule. We tell them that if we don't like it, or if our peers complain, we have to shut the peering down. 3. If they agree, we send out the email to ris-users and our peers on RRC07. If nobody screams, we: - Open firewall for RRC07 if necessary - Configure IBGP peering on RRC07 using the config we already had for my experiments - Set up more detailed filters if necessary - Agree on dates for their experiments 4. On the agreed dates, activate peering 5. When experiment is over, shut down peering Did I miss anything?
