Re: [nznog] Trade Me peering via the APE and WIX route servers
Trademe are announcing their network to both APE and WIX. Their preference is to route packets via the WIX as they're based in Wellington so we've path stuffed the APE announcement so that dual APE/WIX homed entities favour the WIX. This is also so that paths can be symmetric as return packets from Trademe will favour the WIX where they can. Some of you who peer at the APE and WIX may still be favouring announcements from your upstream provider and in many cases these will be links that you pay charges which are related to usage in some way. If I were in your shoes I'd be constructing some BGP policy tweaks to favour APE routes over routes from a link I was paying for regardless of AS path. I've added two community strings to the announcements of 202.21.128.0/24 via AS24078 which may help: 24078:9439 announced via WIX 24078:9560 announced via APE
