[AusNOG] Assistance in picking a router

[Daniel Watson]

Hi Jared

I am going on what ive been told

Thank you for discussing it, and having Nathan take time out of his busy evening to investigate this further,

This thread was designed to find more information about routers. Not about the issues im having. But sort of stemed more onto that then it should of

Awaiting further updates from SAU staff about my issues


Regards

Daniel

Daniel,

It is configured fine, you wanted to hide us from your path and we suggested a vyatta virtual router as you did not want us to route your ips nor did you want to invest $10,000 in a decent router.

The degraded traffic only appears when you are under high packets per second ddos. I advised earlier about this. There is no Mis configuration, we are going to try and stop the attacks from bringing your network offline.

If you were being advertised by us then out routers would not have this issue, as many have suggested when you have a single upstream this is the best way to go about having a stable and redundant network setup, as we have dual routers and very powerful routers that can handle high PPS.

Just for the lists sake, we have done and will continue to do everything we can as the provider for this AS!

I made one suggestion to maybe look into a hardware router to cope with Mis fragmented packets and high PPS and now I am being dragged into something that I shouldn't be.

Daniel I suggest you talk to us rather than this list and rather than bring me into a public forum and make possibly incorrect accusations.

Regards,

Jared

We want to be white labled and hidden from SAU. Thus the router idea

Jared suggested virtual Vyatta as it works fine

Clearly not. As now they have said its not configured correctly...

Just some insight for you

Dear Daniel

If you only have one upstream provider, I would question if you even need to run your own router… why not let your upstream provider advertise your IP ranges for you, let them do BGP which will allow you to do just switching downstream.

Because it sounds like your only taking a default route the other option is maybe not even looking at a router. Instead  I’d look at a nice layer 3 switch with BGP which will outperform most low end software routers from a packet per second point of view.
