CrystalVPS · 11th January 2008

Put simply, if you're unsure - you're best to go static routed, most people will do statically routed transit cheaper than BGP presented full transit.

you'd need to have an ASN, Your own PI/Similar space, Your own routers, Sufficient justification for the ASN/PI. If people are pushing X00mbit/s they'll usually do peering themselves.

Going BGP isn't the cheap way of doing it, negotiate with who is selling the racks and try to get a nice price on statically routed transit, it's the cheapest way of doing it
