We(Waikato) currently still use OSPF on NZIX to collect NZ routes. 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.
Supposing that a general agreement to move to BGP was made earlier than your planned roll-out - presumably as long as Telecom were able to make the NZ table available on OSPF to you, your requirements would be satisifed?
This is true.
There is no particular necessity for us all to speak OSPF, right? I would assume that your particular requirements were an issue between you and your service provider, and not a general exchange issue.
Just exploring ideas :)
This is true too. We only provide layer 2 connectivity. ISPs on NZIX don't have to follow some certain routing protocol. It should depend on their interest. But it should be said that Kawaihiko had multiple service providers and NZIX was the place where most of domestic traffic got exchanged. It's why Waikato has used OSPF to collect NZ routes from NZIX. Since Kawaihiko network broke up, we have been trying to build a new way to meter traffic. It will be appreciated very much if Clear can keep OSPF running until we have rolled out the new metering system.
