Routing your allocation via BGP
To announce your allocation directly via your Internet Service Provider (ISP) you will need to:
- Contact your ISP and ask them if they are willing to agree to announce your AMPRNet allocation in accordance with the terms of the AMPRNet Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Agreement (specifically section 7b).
- Provide a WRITTEN copy of your agreement with your ISP to the AMPRNet administrator.
- Upon verification of the agreement, the AMPRNet administrator will provide WRITTEN authorization to your ISP allowing them to announce your allocation.
Providers Supporting Customers Bringing IPv4 Blocks
| Provider Name | URL | Region(s) | IPv6 Block Add-Ons | Info |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aussie Broadband | https://www.aussiebroadband.com.au/ | Australia | Yes | For an existing Aussie Broadband service with a Static IP Address option enabled, contact the Aussie Broadband Network Operations Team (corporate@aussiebroadband.com.au) to confirm this will be a zero cost upgrade to your service. Their answer becomes the written confirmation that the ISP will support a customer bringing an IPv4 Block.
For the BGP protocol your assigned Private AS Number (ASN) will not be created by Aussie Broadband until they receive your LOA (Legitimacy of Address, also known as Letter of Authorization, Letter of Authority, etc.). Forward the LOA with a request for assignment of a BGP private AS Number to the Aussie Broadband Network Operations Team. This process is covered in the Gippsland Gate Radio and Electronics Club, October 2022 issue, AMPRNET article, Page 12 at http://ggrec.org.au/Magazines/202209.pdf The customer facing and technical support staff for Aussie Broadband retail customers can not resolve BGP related issues. Lodge any problem dockets as a retail customer and if required request the problem be referred to the Network Operations Team. Aussie broadband will enable a filter for the transit of traffic in the appropriate address range. The IPv4 Static IP Address option ensures there are no port filters, Carrier NAT, etc. For the Aussie Broadband account they will assign/implement addresses in the form of:
