[AusNOG] Megaport IX Sydney - Sudden grows in number of prefixes

Fri Jan 12 09:08:11 EST 2018

Traffic engineering is difficult when people don’t play by the rules…

Perhaps using the HE community strings which Jacob suggested would be more helpful – you may be able to prevent HE advertising your subnets to TPG. Unless NSW-IX remove all community strings when they go to peers….

I tried this, with 3:6939 which added 3 prepends to he (which I could see at HE's LG) but TPG still preferred to send traffic via he rather than transit, even though the path was longer...

ughhh

Note that you can also use BGP communities to adjust how the IX advertises your subnets to individual peers using the documentation here:

Unfortunately you can't set a community of 0:7545 to avoid advertising your routes to TPG, as they aren't the direct peer - you would need to block advertising to HE using 0:6427. It may be sufficient for you to prepend the routes being advertised to HE, using 3:6427, to reduce the amount of traffic taking that path, but still keeping it available.

Filter based on the AS Path?

If the path is:

You <- 58941 <- 6427 <- 7545

You <- MegaIXSyd <- HE <- TPG

In the Cisco world, I would use

ip as-path access-list 10 deny ^58941_6427_7545$

(The ASN's here may not be exactly what is in use, you will need to check your received prefixes)

With this, does anyone know of a way of keeping HE routes, but

excluding a specific one, namely TPG 7545 which is a direct customer

of HE. Traffic from them goes from Syd -> LA -> Syd -> he peering ->

me.  I'd prefer to just make them stay at home so to speak instead of

going around the world.  We don't peer at Pipe which would be the only

other place to connect to tpg.
