Hard to find a real BGP router with full/partial INET table to peer with you.
- wahern 5y agoVultr offers both BGP proxying and BGP peering services. You can route to a cheap ($5/month) VPS and then tunnel (GRE, GIF, IPSec, or Wireguard) to your residential gateway. With IPSec or Wireguard you wouldn't even need a static residential IP address.
- idorosen 5y agoCan you be more specific? Outside of residential internet connectivity, it's pretty easy to find an business ISP or transit provider or peer that's willing to push full BGP tables in my experience...
- pm2222 5y agoI was referring to residential. Otherwise it's usually the network admin/engineering team of a company that manages such.
- walrus01 5y agoIt's a matter of money, of course if you want to rent like 4U of colocation space at an IX poitn somewhere, pay for the cross connects, tons of ISPs will be happy to sell you an IP transit circuit. You did form an LLC and get your own ARIN ASN first, right? You have at minimum a /24 of ipv4 space to announce or will "rent" some from your upstream provider? It's generally not something you want to implement on a whim because the costs and ongoing obligations are non-trivial.
- pm2222 5y agoThe peering alone should not cost much: I don't announce anything to upstream just receive the full/partial inet table and upstream filters everything that I send over bgp.
- bcrl 5y agoThere are lots of us (your friendly local ISP) that would be happy to help someone out learning this kind of thing. Alas, the expensive part is getting an ASN and network to announce which is approaching a kilobuck per year these days iirc.
