I'm looking into a F5 GTM solution based out of a colo we have in Europe to
direct SMTP between France and the US hubs. Now I just have to work layers
8 & 9.
Remember when users didn't expect sub-minute delivery times?
Thanks for everyone's help, you've give me a lot of good ideas to consider
and I've learned more than I ever thought I would about anycast. Although
I'm not on the BGP end of things anymore I value the minds, personalities
and pure history that NANOG brings.
Total side note: I remember back at a NANOG in Atlanta, 2000 maybe, at a
BOF on ARIN allocations where I was arguing for netblocks less than a /21
because Amazon couldn't justify that much at that time, I mean we only had
one public site but still wanted to multi-home. I remember Randy Bush even
backed me up on that one. In the end I did get a block for Amazon and
brought up BGP. Oh how times have changed (and how I wish I still had
those stock options!)
Best regards,
Joe (ex JH484)
