You don't actually need an ASN to get PI though? You can use PI just fine with BYOIP. Actually... I don't think you are even required to announce them on the Internet.
- throw0101c 3y agoYou need the coöperation of the ISP(s), but what you can do is get PI space, run BGP on your router, and use a private ASN (64512-65534) to advertise to your ISP, and then your ISP advertises to the world with their ASN. One common scenario is two links to the same ISP, so everyone knows which link is active (you can do active-active (load balancing/sharing), or change weights or local preference for active-passive): * https://learn.nsrc.org/bgp/two_links_one_isp_backup https://learn.nsrc.org/bgp/two_links_one_isp_backup * https://learn.nsrc.org/bgp/two_links_one_isp_load_balancing https://learn.nsrc.org/bgp/two_links_one_isp_load_balancing
