IIRC Vultr will allow you to announce to them from your own ASN if you
have one
Thank you for your answer. I was not aware about that. Then, we need to :
- Obtain an ASN from a LIR
- Migrate our Vultr announcement to that private ASN
- Arrange redundant announcement of that ASN from another provider
so how you would then route the prefix to another
provider for
announcement could get interesting.
It’s possible with tunnels I guess, but the traditional way would be
to have your own BGP edge router in a datacenter and hook up feeds
from two transit providers. Doing it this way also gives you the
option of peering with multiple other networks, if you’re in a carrier
neutral datacenter.
All our servers are hosted in a local data center (on our island of
Corsica), but it has very limited transit capabilities, and no ISP
providing BGP directly (ie, at affordable cost for a radio-club).
Currently, we announce via a Vultr VPS in Paris, and we tunnel to
Corsica. The second announcement is not defined yet. I still have to
investigate all the available options, and choose two of them. Moreover,
we plan to deploy a second 44Net data-center on the island. Then, we
would have two DCs, connected to each other via iBGP, and each one
having its own eBGP announcement. More to follow...
