ChtiX: offers for transit BGP

Oles,

Does the contract you have with Orange mean that you are unable to filter your announcements so that BGP customers are not announced to Orange and similarly not announce the availability of the Orange prefixes to BGP customers? I would have thought that having BGP communities would allow you can then distinguish between routing for the OVH network and any BGP customers so that you do not break these terms.

I was keen on the possibility to take an OVH/Chtix BGP transit offer in London, however, this doesn't look like it will be possible now. The 100Euro for 100Mb offer is/was fantastic, especially considering the great network, peering and transit you have on AS16276. Your size makes you a great provider to smaller networks that simply don't pass enough traffic to demand presence at the peering points directly, however still want the best network for their clients.

Whilst on the subject, is it now possible to take a Chtix port and use a private VLAN so that I can use my own IPs and routing on OVH dedicated servers? The lack of BGP transit would be a shame, however I need to be able to use my own network and IPs on OVH dedicated servers.

Regards

Richard

Hello,
In the coming days, Ovh will establish private peering
Orange in Paris in 2x10G. This is a direct peering with
Orange network in France (AS3215, bypassing Opentransit
AS5511) and therefore highly regulated. Ovh sign a contract
peering with Orange in which Ovh not to resell the
access service network AS3215. It's a bit normal resell
of peering is not so "honest". We can
therefore propose Server transit BGP. Ie if
you are a trader, you have your own network with a
AS your own routers, BAHH you will not be able to
purchasing transit BGP (in full route or default route). This
service will be stopped there for all our current customers
(we have never been so). This service is not
never be proposed by OVH.

Everything else continues on ChtiX course. We propose
ChtiX in the secure channels between the different datacentres
in Europe. For example, to interconnect on a point of
peering anywhere in Europe from anywhere). We
propose the multi-circuit verification (you have a port and you
circuits to have several different places, economy
wiring) then the IP transit / Housing "for offers of housing
(Ovh gives you the IP for your bay, with or without the bay).
In this case, the PIs are "hooked" on our AS16276. The
IP can be Ovh or PI (owned by the customer), but
must be advertised on our network only.

In short, nothing really changes. Just our ambitions to provide
BGP transit operators to small and grow, these
ambitions there into the water. As against this helps clarify
our positions vis-à-vis resale peering we
France and Europe: peering is used only for
the needs of our network and our network only.

Amicalement

In this case, the PIs are "hooked" on our AS16276 [transit autonomous network].

In short, nothing really changes. Just our ambitions to provide to
BGP transit operators, start small and grow.
This helps clarify our position face-to-face resale peering for us in
France and Europe: peering is used only for
