Hi, We are an ISP in Turkey and one of our customer wants Provider Independent IP Classes. As far as I know, I can get new Classes from RIPE (not within the classes I have allocated) . But I do not know about the routing part. Do I have to assign our customer an AS number and announce their independent classes by that AS #? Or will it be routed to our AS number? I hope that makes my question clear. I appreciate your help Best regards Okan CIMEN ------------------------------------------------ RT.Net - Rumeli Telekom A.S.

You can create a route-object under your current AS, and advertise the PI-space the same way you advertise your normal PA-space. No additional AS-numbers are needed. You may still encounter problems if the PI-space aggregate is below /20 because of prefix-length filtering done by transit providers. Jorma
It depends on the implementation you want to achieve. If your customer requests it's own AS, he will have to use BGP to announce it's address space it, and he'll be able to control the advertisements. If he doesn't request an AS, you can advertise the PI Space under your own AS (this depends on your local policies also- you might not want to do that), but this way he'll have no control over the advertisements (this doesn't matter a lot with single homed installations). Using this implementation, you'll have to somehow provide reachability from your AS to the customer with your internal IGP.
