I added my 44net /24 to the list of prefixes I announce. Then I told my upstreams about it
so they could update their filters.
This isn't a dick measuring
group, its a networking group. You know what you're doing, so write it up
so mere mortals can achieve a positive result as well.
There needs to be a sample equipment list with DIY workarounds for those
with time but not money, and there needs to be a VERY well written
document-set to hand to my ISP so I don't scare them into just plain
refusing my request, or unduly taxing their tech team.
Announcing prefixes is an ISP’s bread and butter, they shouldn’t need a very well written
document, just the prefix you want them to announce, and maybe a letter of authorization
(LoA) from Brian Kantor allowing your ISP to do such announcement.
Sample equipment list? “A router that speaks BGP”, but your ISP already has that.
