I'm spending the weekend with BGP - want to know enough to be able to fake
it in the ASET lab next week.
Just pondering something. If iBGP routers do not need to be directly
connected, then is it reasonable to try to join up two labs across the
internet and see what we can see?
Me---------the internet-----------you
<-----------ibgp--------------->
my router
router bgp 65000
neighbor your_outside_ip_address
your router
router bgp 65000
neighbor my_outside_ ip_address
I don't think there would be any implications to the global internet routing
table. But if that is a concern, a simple GRE tunnel could alleviate that
issue.
Worth a shot? Any problems to the internet itself, if we use a private AS
number and the appropriate neighbor statements?
anyone interested in trying this tomorrow sometime after 5:00 p.m. pacific
( 8:00 p.m. eastern ) ?
If this is feasible, several of use could link up. Hell of a lot simpler
than trying IPSec / VPN tunnels

A long shot at passing is better than no shot.
Right now that's all I got to get me through,
So I gotta believe!
