What if you have two separate ISPs at home (for redundancy) but want your home devices to have stable IP addresses?
Couldn't you achieve this with a simpler/cheaper setup (a single Vultr server set up with their BGP service), and your home devices tunneling everything through it?
And doesn't this use case warrant your own address space?
- walrus01 5y agoResidential last mile ISPs are highly unlikely to offer bgp as a service. What you'll get is default route DIA. If you actually do find a cooperative fiber based last mile ISP that will set up bgp with you in your house, I'd be shocked if the service quotation for such a custom weird thing doesn't start from a floor price of $400 a month.
- icedchai 5y agoYep. And the cable company isn't going to let you do BGP over DOCSIS, that's for sure. Backhaul over tunnels is really the only viable solution to "BGP at home."
