Hi Felix Your email implies that you are waiting only for Waikato to implement BGP at NZIX. This does not appear to be a fair call, as no one else on the mailing list that Joe Abley posted to has made any comment on whether they would BGP peer or not at NZIX and especially the largest ISP in NZ Telecom.

We see no nationale in using OSPF to collect and distribute interprovider routes. In fact we have started to use BGP Communities within our global Internet BB to direct routes which previously was done by OSPF, thus further reducing OSPF role. Under the NZIX switching network we wish to pursue BGP peerings with all ISPs there who are capable, including Waikato. We await for Waikato to fully implement its BGP capability.

And this is vital to our traffic metering. A new metering system is being built to use BGP4 to download NZ routes from our traffic provider. Once this has been done, we will be very keen to download NZ routes from major ISPs on NZIX and OSPF can be decommissioned.
