[AusNOG] Bgp capable router for aws direct connect

[Matthew VK3EVL]

Keeping it simple. One side, aws, will only feed routes via bgp. It will have 50 or so private ip /21s
Default route on the other interface going to the core that is more than capable of gigabit but not licensed for bgp. Any filtering will be done there or on a firewall.
