Routing policies from NSP-grade providers are usually reliant on AS-sets instead of singular ASNs -- so to say they can have as many as they want. As to why this is done, it's mainly to individualize a certain set of services from others -- or acquisitions; depends entirely on the situations of...

Completely useless, WHT-style replies are probably not going to fly very well here. Most members try to actively avoid them, and I believe that was half the reason the board was even created. Just my 2c.

On properly vLaned networks (which is the way your networks SHOULD BE setup, this is 2014), you'll have to perform an addition every time a customer signs up. The easy way around this is just assigning /48s to nodes instead, and then further delegating from that -- which is what most people who...

Gentoo Stallman pls.

Narnia is about the only valid choice.

There's nothing at all stopping you from building the bleeding edge kernel and qemu for CentOS, if you really wanted to -- useless argument. That said, I hate the RHEL family of OSes with a passion -- and would recommend Debian with own maintained kernel for the job instead. If you must use...

Correct, not on the rr -- but there's enough private peering relationships with anyone worth peering with in HK. You'd be hard pressed to find tier one carriers who peer on the rr in Asia. Why would they? This is APAC, and by denying you peering -- they force you to purchase transit. This is...

China is and has always been 'special,' I personally believe it's a dumb idea to optimize for CT/CU when they themselves cannot be bothered to give a hoot about you unless you buy direct bandwidth into CN.

Depends on what features you'd want. If I wanted to sell VMs off ESXi, I'd want vCenter management along with DRS/HA/VCB features, none of which are free.

> In other drawbacks, it can't do NAT (without you setting up a openvswitch / opencontrail / vyatta / quagga routing vm), and it won't do any software raid. It's also closed-source software, if you happen to be an open-sores fanatic. This was said about ESXi, not Proxmox, actually. Apologies if...

ESXi if you need to be complaint to a boatload pointless certifications. In other drawbacks, it can't do NAT (without you setting up a openvswitch / opencontrail / vyatta / quagga routing vm), and it won't do any software raid. It's also closed-source software, if you happen to be an open-sores...

Owing to the recent incidents (about alleged compromises), and the fact that Yahoo hasn't been on par with other large email service providers for years now -- you should probably seek another provider to host your mail. They're also impossible to work with from a mail-server administrator's...

HKIX isn't really needed, they added a NTT pipe -- and NTT is very present at the HKIX. At this stage, some eqix peering and maybe some local peering (private) will be all they should need to be better than 99% of the western companies attempting to run 'networks' here.

@Alec Apologies, get rid of is indeed the incorrect term. :)

@Alec's been trying to get rid of KC for a long time in order to focus on the DFW side of things for a long time, so this doesn't really come as a surprise. Best of luck :) Edit: Anyone notice that his User ID is 666? lol.

-0.2 on both eyes at the moment, I see fine without them, but severe headaches due to straining when I stare at any kind of digital screen.

Not seeing anything wrong at all there, so no.

Nope, was likely only one access switch or something. Didn't catch it here.

Do you people really need to bring the CC/HVH/GVH debacle into every single fucking thread? This is getting annoying.

bgp.he.net is anything but an actual representation of what's going on anyway. It gives you a basic idea, but that graph should be treated with extreme skepticism.
