Hi,
Since all public IXPs are using unique IP-Allocations for the exchange fabric, I thought about the possibility to hook them all up under the same AS-number.
Each prefix/IXP is visible the same as before and exchange networks could be easily identified by the AS-number and specially treated (filtered/preferred).
Feedback?
i don't see any point in that suggestion... Not all IXes will do that anyways (how to force them?), saving AS numbers is not an issue (anymore), so it's a PITA at best when it comes to debugging some issues with a certain IX. Any why would anyone treat/filter/prefer ALL Exchanges around the world the same way? ...but probably i just miss the point, the suggestion is not elaborate enough :-) -- ======================================================================== = Sascha Lenz SLZ-RIPE slz@baycix.de = = Network Operations = = BayCIX GmbH, Landshut * PGP public Key on demand * = ========================================================================
