[AusNOG] steering inbound BGP (Telstra)

[Chris Gibbs]

Hey all,

We currently utilise Telstra Internet Direct services for our primary inbound for AS38236, I would like to move to using Telstra as the least preferred and swap to another provider for inbound.

When I tested the swap, the majority of domestic looking glasses were confirming inbound through our preferred inbound. However Telstra always seems to prefer their own routes instead of peer learnt; even after setting either as-prepend or MED. A Telstra engineer confirmed this.

My question is pretty much is there any other way to steer inbound traffic to us through Telstra? (without grabbing a /23 and advertising more specific 2 x /24s or using communities, which Telstra doesn't support)

The only other alternative would be to swap providers at our DR site, and we originally had issues getting a service installed there.

Does anyone also know if this is the default behaviour through Telstra Wholesale Internet?

Cheers ,
