I have some specific configuration on IX. We have peering with IX but no direct peering with other through IX.
We have a problem when one of the IX member (lets say AS6500) have two peers one is on the other side of the country (assume ip 10.10.10.101) and one realy close to us (10.10.10.100). Routes from IX for AS6500 are sent to us with gateway 10.10.10.101 as this is best route selected on IX side by the router id .
Because of that we have problems with routes to this AS6500 as we have 5x times latency than if we would route to the peer close to us 10.10.10.100. So we did this:
Code: Select all
chain=IX-IN bgp-as-path=6500 invert-match=no action=accept set-in-nexthop=10.10.10.100 set-check-gateway=ping set-bgp-weight=30 set-bgp-prepend-path=""
Any advice ?
