[c-nsp] Inbound traffic

[Sherwin Torres]

Hi Jon & Aftab,

Thank you very much for your inputs.

Anyway, I agree but you might confuse on my inquiry. In the internet cloud, there are lots of interconnected AS and if I'm going to prepend the announcement to AS200 and AS300 - all inbound traffic will pass to AS20 alone. 

Actually, what I want is - to isolate specific AS (AS1) to pass via AS400-AS20-AS30 as the primary returned path while other AS from the internet cloud would be still the best path going to AS30. 


Thanks.

Hi Sherwin,
 
Inbound traffic can also be altered on the basis of prefix-advertisement. If you are advertising more specific prefix i.e. /22 or /24 (though not recommended with tier1 service providers) your inbound traffic will always take the desired path.

 
and yes as-path prepend is also an option.

In the above scenario, I am using AS30 and I need to access AS1. The

outbound traffic can be force using the localpref to prefer which
path I can use for the outbound however, my dilemma is the inbound
traffic. Since sample 1 and 2 has lesser path from AS1 going to AS30,
this might be the best in returned path while sample 3 is the least

priority due to longer path. Is there a way can I manipulate the inbound and outbound via sample 3 without contacting AS1?

The short answer is as-path prepending of your announced routes to as200 and as300.
