What do we think about this lease a beacon request?

As Paul mentioned to you, we are >interested in doing some measurement studies on IP Anycast and think >that the RIS beacon service offered by your group can serve as a very >useful testbed for such measurements. We have acquired an AS number and >a prefix (a /22) for this purpose and would like to use some or all of >your RRCs as anycast servers by advertising our prefix through them. >I can see two ways in which this can be done: > >* If it is possible for me to get access to the beacon boxes, I could >run a software router on them to peer with your beacon software and >advertise our prefix through your AS. Note that we would like our own >peering, instead of the beacon service being currently offered, so that >starting and stopping of the advertisements and the RRCs being used can >be controlled by us. Apart from the software router, I will also need >permissions to run a DNS server on the same host. > >* In case access to the beacon boxes is not possible, we could establish >EBGP peerings between a box here at Cornell and your RRCs over tunnels. >In effect, this would allow me to run whatever I need on my boxes while >you would only need to support a BGP peering across a tunnel (and >advertise our prefix onwards). > >In any event, if either of these options seem feasible, I would be more >than happy to provide more details about the kind of experiments we want >to run, the peering requirements, the amount of traffic that can be >expected and so on. > >Thanks. >-- >hitesh ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Henk Uijterwaal Email: henk.uijterwaal(at)ripe.net RIPE Network Coordination Centre http://www.amsterdamned.org/~henk P.O.Box 10096 Singel 258 Phone: +31.20.5354414 1001 EB Amsterdam 1016 AB Amsterdam Fax: +31.20.5354445 The Netherlands The Netherlands Mobile: +31.6.55861746 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1160438400 + 381600 = 1160820000.
