They're in ServerCentral's datacenter and ServerCentral is very much multi homed. They wouldn't gain anything by doing native BGP to all these peers in the exact same datacenter when SC's backbone will handle this stuff for them.
- toomuchtodo 12y agoDoing native BGP would allow them to anycast, which would increase their reliability and allow them to sink traffic much more easily. DDOS traffic sink starts announcing your AS and anycast IP block close to the traffic source, sinking that traffic and allowing real traffic through.
- feld 12y agoI'm pretty sure they're only in one of Server Central's datacenters. Anycast won't help. That's why I said they don't gain anything by directly peering.
