We're looking at building into a DC in Europe this year and I wanted to run=
a few questions by the community and make sure I'm not too far off course.
We currently have v4 space from ARIN and operate a multihomed datacenter in=
the US. This thread from September 2012, though the reverse of my situati=
on, makes it seem like I should be able to work with ARIN to satisfy all of=
our v4 and v6 needs regardless of where in the world I plan to advertise t=
he space. Obviously this would be really convenient for us since we alread=
y have a relationship with ARIN. http://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/=
2012-September/052137.html
So my questions are:
* Is it ok/recommended to advertise v4 ARIN space (say a /23) to my upstre=
am ISPs in Europe?=20
* Is it ok/recommended to advertise v6 ARIN space to my upstream ISPs in Eu=
rope? (I suspect we'll get a /44 block to carve up since we fit in the "mo=
re than one but less than 12 sites" category)
* Should I use a single AS for both North America and European data centers=
? It will be the same small team managing them today but it's not like the=
sites are linked together to form any kind of transit network.
Also, is there a European version of RADB with which I should plan to regis=
ter my prefixes?
thanks!
