[AusNOG] Telstra Internet Direct - BGP

[Nathan Brookfield]

Hi Guys,

Looking for advice and guidance from anyone else on list who has provisioned Transit services with Telstra in the past.  Last year we placed orders for TID services and during the LOLO ordering process there was an option for us to supply /30 IP addressing for our sessions to Telstra "which gave me a false sense of acceptance".

That was,  until the IP Assurance guys came back to us in September advising that only TID IP addressing was allowed for the adjacency interfaces and that we would not be allowed to use our own address space.  Now, that doesn't sound unreasonable except for the fact that we have a policy across all upstream transit networks to only use our own IP space for several reasons, the primary one being to provide us with a higher level of control during a denial of service attack and we've never had a transit provider push back on us with this until now.

Has anyone had this experience with Telstra and experienced success in having them not enforce the policy of Telstra /30's for direct private interfaces or should I give up now?

Thanks in advance,

Kindest Regards,
Nathan Brookfield (VK2NAB)
