Hi,
I am hoping that I may be able to somehow reach the consultant that
support the router server at Equinix in Ashburn VA here, or may be
someone else can provide me a bit more details as to how I could
possibly find more details or history on this problem.
There is a dual setup at Equinix that use OpenBSD as router servers for
public peering there, but somehow the version of the bgpd used is older
and I cant get them to upgrade it to the latest one and possibly address
thsi issue here.
What I get is this from the various routers servers (two) when I try to
either bring IPv4 or IPv6 with it:

I have over 150 sessions peering there in a combination of IPv4 and
IPv6, so it's not like the router can't handle it or can't process bgp
announcement correctly, but only when it try to do one session with the
router server running OpenBSD it does this.
Is there any one that had similar problem that may be able to provide me
more details as to get this solved somehow or really give me some
details as to provide to Equinix showing them that upgrading their
server routers would fix the problem, or possible something in the
configuration is wrong and that they should look at?
My hope is really to be able to find the person that support it and for
what I was told by Equinix support, it is suppose to be someone from
OpenBSD, but I can't get any name to possibly work directly with that
person or provide more details to that person to address this for all
peers at Equinix and we are talking hundreds of ISP peering together there.
Obviously not all use the router servers setup because of this and may
simply do not use it as a side effect of it, but it would be good if
this could be address somehow and it would help anyone.
My hope is to move this forward somehow here, but I have to say I do not
have much to work with as is and sadly I can't provide any configuration
for the OpenBSD setup a I do not have access to it what so ever.
So, this may not get anywhere, but if there is a chance, I sure would
appreciate it.
Best,
Daniel
