[lir-wg] Question to a multihomed PA-space connection
- Date: Thu, 25 Jul 2002 08:07:52 +0200
Hello,
I have "little" question (but notice that I'm not a guru in BGP-routing and
RIPE-problems).
We want to connect a customer which don't want to register as a new AS. But
he wants a connect to 2 provivers (different AS's).
We have tried to get PI-space from RIPE but the automaticly response told us
the following:
-------- Quote --------
1. Why is PI space required rather than PA space?
- If PI is requested for multi-homing please explain why the
second provider cannot route PA space as a more specific
route(with the PA block holder adding a more specific route
too).
- The same policies apply to PI space as PA. Administrative ease
and/or routing are not reasons for PI. Please read the information
about PA/PI from the RIPE Document, IPv4 Address Allocation and
Assignment Policies in the RIPE NCC Service Region, Sections 5.1.5
and 5.1.6:
-------- Unquote --------
Can anyone tell me what is to do for that the second provider is able to
announce the /24-PA from the first provider (to emulate a multihomed
connection) or is it only possible to use the second provider for backup
with the same space?
wait hopefully for tips or hints
regards,
Janko Thoß
