Re: [44net] A new era of IPv4 Allocations

BGP on the public Internet requires that you: * Have an ASN * Have address space that is a /24 or larger that you can announce * Typically, have two peers or more you can announce to. * Have the gear/software that announce the space * Have some previous experience so you are not just experimenting with your deployment * Meet your peer's requirements (eg 24 hour NOC, show up at a peering location, etc.) * Have the skill set to execute all of the above This will be a large hurdle for most folks.
