At this year’s MUM I did a presentation on multi-homed BGP. Multi-homed BGP is when your autonomous system peers with multiple internet providers. Peering via BGP with multiple providers allows you to add IP address redundancy, load-balancing inbound/outbound and have greater control of how your addressing is viewed to the internet at large.
This covers:
Here are the router configs as well as the slides: Multihomed-BGP-Part1 (4490 downloads)
Here’s part one of the video. If it doesn’t load, refresh!
One more thing of note is a letter of authorization(LOA). An LOA is written notice that you send to your upstream providers telling them what addressing to expect and what AS #’s the addressing will be sourced from. Your providers will generally build their filter lists based on this information. Give them the large subnet size, but tell them to accept any thing as big as a /24.
Hello from Australia 😉 BTW, we MISSED you Andrew!
Australian Fonzie! I have no idea what this bloke’s name is…hehe.
As always, please leave me any questions or comments below. THANKS GUYS!
Random shots of random things.
There’s not a lot to see, but Mike and I take a look. Enjoy!
Hit refresh if you don’t see the video below!

The LCD options seem limited…on and off and the timing for the slideshow.
A lot of good guys out there in the exhibitor hall. A lot of good distributors and people in the user account management area.
New products:
2.4Ghz Metal AP/CPE
2.4Ghz miniPCI
2.4Ghz AP/CPE SXTG-2HnD
SXT G-5HnD
CCR no longer has RAM limitation! I’m assuming this is a V6 upgrade.
Sorry for the blue pics…the projector does weird stuff.
Normands, you are the man, good presentation;)
A tremendous friend of mine was kind enough to give me a bottle of Black Balsam. For those of you that don’t know, BB is “a traditional Latvian herbal liqueur made with many different natural ingredients mixed in pure vodka, giving a 45% abv (90 proof) drink.” I love the fact that they also refer to it as being used as a traditional medicine…hehe. If you can’t beat a cold, then burn it out of ya!
I’m going to say right off the bat that I don’t drink 🙂 So why would I accept such a gift you ask? If a good friend of yours from halfway across the globe brings you a gift YOU ACCEPT IT! What I did with it was to entertain friends 🙂 Following is a couple pictures of Jimmy’s attempt 😛
Jimmy steps up to the plate.
Here’s the pitch.
Swing and a miss…you’re out! hehehe
The only person here who matters is Daniel. Daniel is the closest thing to a connoisseur I have, and I believe he reviewed it quite well. Here is what he had to say:
Riga Black Balsam
At first whiff of Riga Black Balsam, I detected the high alcohol content but there is a nice syrupy coffee scent that follows. The aroma is quite complex, but it is hard to pinpoint independent ingredients. When I took my first taste, I was surprised at the strong, bitter flavor because I expected it to be sweet from the scent. When I worked my way past the initial shock, the flavor was of a robust, dark coffee with some slight complexity of a flowery nature. I haven’t really experienced anything quite like it. Kahlúa and Jägermeister are the closest things I can compare this drink to, but it isn’t really like them either. If you are looking for a unique liqueur to add to your liquor cabinet, I would recommend it. It’s not something I’ll drink on a regular basis, but I can definitely see myself imbibing with a glass of it during a casual evening with some friends. I can see this being an excellent drink for cold, winter nights. Sitting in front of the fireplace, having a passionate debate over politics, history, or philosophy with some friends, Black Balsam would be a great accompaniment.
I love the bottle too. it is made out of some kind of porcelain…or something. It’s got a stout feel and looks very cool on my shelf of treasures. I’ve got better photos that will follow soon.
I don’t know if the special donor wants to remain anonymous or not…I don’t think he supplied too many people with a bottle, but thank you sir! If you don’t mind me calling you by name, then just let me know 😉
