Offer for participation (from Switzerland)

[Simon Leinen <simon@limmat.switch.ch>]

Masataka,

we'd like to participate in this experiment.  We happen to have an
unused machine on the CERN IXP LAN in Geneva, Switzerland.  So I
configured it with an additional loopback address 192.83.230.1, and
set up (using GNU Zebra) a BGP-4 process under AS4128.

The machine's ``real'' IP address is 192.65.185.100.  It runs BIND
8.2.3-T2B, and a slave DNS server has been configured for
real-internet.org.  Randy, if you allow AXFRs from 192.65.185.100 I'll
set up a secondary for PSG.COM, too.

If this works we can offer other ISPs at the CIXP to peer with this
machine.  We (SWITCH = AS559) could also provide transit by announcing
AS4128 to our peers and transit providers... but the routing registry
entry for 192.83.230.0/24 should be changed to reflect the new AS
because some of our peers derive their prefix filters from that info.

Regards,
