Dear all
Something I don't understand and would like you to
help.
1/ for the url:
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/network/2002/08/12/multihoming.html
I don't understand those 2 steps:
- Register your routing policy in a Routing Registry.
- Use looking glasses to see if your announcements are
visible elsewhere on the Internet.
How can I register the policy?
and how can I use the looking glasses to check?
2/ I saw article. "a full BGP feed is about 110,000
routes."
Do you have experience that AMD64 with 3G memory in
Unix Box can handle it?
Thank you very much and appreciate much for your help

Also, search for "BGP looking glass" in the search engine of your choice.

we're at 140..150k these days.

I've done it on a soekris box, that is, a 266MHz Geode CPU with
128MB RAM, using OpenBSD and OpenBGPD...

You'll have to register the route-object with your local RIR (probabely
APNIC if you are .hk based?)
- Use looking glasses to see if your announcements are
visible elsewhere on the Internet.

My advise? Use the AMD64 for something else (database, mailscanning,
high-end webserver, ...) and use whatever you have from old hardware.
The main issue is memory: it is might be possible in 128MB ram, it
should be possible in 256MB ram and if you have 512MB ram, you have more
than enough.
If course, this also depends on what amount of traffic you expect: aside
from the memory, an old box with bad NICs will have a hard time pushing
10Mbps, while a new box with good NICs and a decent OS will forward
about anything you throw at it.

If you'll look a what the route-views boxes do, a bigish pc based server can take 45 full feeds with minimal performance implications. They're dual p4 boxes with 2GB of ram. They do not of course make forwarding decisions based on that information.
