[AusNOG] Telstra Internet Direct - BGP

[Tim Raphael]

You can also eBGP Multi-hop the session from the customer to some PE router beyond the BRASs. Not as nice though and depending on the number of PE routers and the number of potential BRAS boxes you can land on the config for the peer would need to be in a lot of places (PEs).
