A client of mine (Catalyst IT) will be hosting the website with the "on the night" election results. The website is a set of static pages (which are updated regularly in a push from the central computer collating the results as they come in; Catalyst IT are also operating this computer at another facility). The website will be hosted at one (or possibly two) addresses out of the Catalyst IT 203.96.153.224/27 CIDR address range (allocated out of a Paradise block). This address range is advertised into WIX (WIX router is 202.7.0.72). They have a 100Mbps connection into Citylink so local bandwidth should be adequate. However for both efficiency and redundancy they are keen to take as much advantage of the peering on WIX as possible. Can I have an indication from the ISPs as to: - how many are accepting /27 routes from WIX? (I've heard some are not accepting routes smaller than /24, or even larger) - for those that do not routinely accept a /27 advertisement on WIX, whether they'd be prepared to accept that /27 advertisement around the election night period (or put in a temporary static route) - how many are advertising their dialup, adsl, cable, etc blocks into WIX (so that the return path is also peered) Comments from anyone that peers at APE (and would accept a /27 route), but doesn't have any peering/connection to Citylink/WIX would also be appreciated. At present the cheapest price for transit to APE (from Wellington) is probably outside the budget remaining, but the issue is still being considered. (Of course if someone wants to offer cheap transit to APE.... :-) ) Messages here (nznog) or directly to me (ewen(a)naos.co.nz or ewen(a)catalyst.net.nz) would be appreciated.
