Anybody know if GG/Netgate do this?
No idea, I suspect they'll have to soon.
With a connection to GG .. I think AOL (I mean Asia Online(ICONZ)) is the only people you have to go internationally to get to. (Anoying).
Not the only ones (from a Telstra Saturn network in Wellington): pele:~$ /usr/sbin/traceroute www.netgate.net.nz traceroute to ngtweb1.netgate.net.nz (202.37.247.19), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets 1 rufer.citylink.co.nz (203.97.231.225) 0.453 ms 0.478 ms 0.222 ms 2 c8-isl2.netlink.net.nz (203.97.144.1) 0.899 ms 0.946 ms 0.885 ms 3 b1-lqy-isl1.wlg.tsnz.net (203.97.132.154) 1.519 ms 1.120 ms 1.209 ms 4 fa4-0-0.b2.sxb.akl.tsnz.net (203.98.21.1) 14.695 ms 12.267 ms 11.752 ms 5 GE0-0-0.nzsx-core2.Auckland.telstra.net (203.98.4.4) 24.894 ms 15.595 ms 12.032 ms 6 GigabitEthernet4-0-0.nzsx-core1.Auckland.telstra.net (203.50.126.57) 15.976 ms 20.781 ms 20.901 ms 7 Pos2-1.pad-core3.Sydney.telstra.net (203.50.126.49) 56.994 ms 42.575 ms 49.196 ms 8 FastEthernet0-0-0.pad13.Sydney.telstra.net (139.130.249.234) 44.623 ms 42.699 ms 48.125 ms 9 connect2.lnk.telstra.net (139.130.32.6) 180.479 ms 227.034 ms 238.898 ms 10 atm0-1-0-1.bdr1.hay.connect.com.au (210.8.219.238) 50.099 ms 49.750 ms 50.622 ms 11 f4-0-0-2.sybr1.netgate.net.nz (202.50.116.113) 43.220 ms 44.442 ms 49.194 ms 12 a10-0-0-6.akbr1.netgate.net.nz (202.50.116.81) 76.195 ms 71.575 ms 72.831 ms 13 f0-0.akcr5.netgate.net.nz (202.37.246.88) 50.707 ms 56.529 ms 46.315 ms 14 * * *
I have no idea why AO don't/won't peer with GG but I shant ask.
Depends who you talk to, I suspect. Last I spoke to AOL, they were dead keen to peer with any and everybody on APE and WIX. AOL weren't keen to pay Netgate/GG for the privilege of doing it for them, when AOL felt they could reach everywhere else on the local Internet without GG's help. (stop me if I've got the arguement wrong, Tony :-). Ask yourself why the only ISP's peering with GG are paying (via dedicated circuits, independant of the major exchanges) to do so, consider what it would do for GG's income if it had to peer with all those ISP's at the neutral peering points, and I think it will become blindlingly obvious why Netgate/GG doesn't want to chuck it's toys into the new sandpits.
