AS13335 is Cloudflare. How does TATA relate? You have a deicated server connected to TATA and Cloudflare? I'm skeptical. You really ought to do some more reading, learning, and practicing before running public BGP. I would recommend reading this book cover-to-cover: http://www.bgpexpert.com/'BGP'-by-Iljitsch-van-Beijnum/ It's only ~250 small pages. To practice and experiment, emulate some example configurations with GNS3 and Dynamips, or some Linux VMs with Quagga or BIRD. > > > On Sat, Jul 19, 2014 at 10:06 AM, Jonathan Lassoff <j...@thejof.com> wrote: >> >> An Anycasting node.
