[AusNOG] Telstra Internet Direct - BGP

[Mark Newton]

ADSL is problematic for BGP sessions, because the ISP can’t predict which BRAS/LNS the session will arrive on; so where do you put the BGP configuration?

Internode used to (probably still does) run BGP to ADSL business customers by running a tunnel from a PE router to the customer’s fixed IP address. Then the customer can switch from BRAS to BRAS from one session to the next while the tunnel stays up, and BGP can be configured on the PE to run across the tunnel.

Yes, MTU/fragmentation issues affected this solution. But whatever the customer wants, eh?
