I am thinking of having my own ASN. I know the requirements are like already having a /24 ipv4 block for ARIN, but i am not sure what the requirements are for RIPE in europe. Basically i want to get all the information i need considering managing my own ASN number.
Can i use a software router like the Vyatta vRouter to run my own BGP for the ASN?
If i want to use my provider's network, do i just connect to their router and just let them do the BGP routing? since all connection will pass through their network? just like if i had my switch connected their router?
Is that how it is or what exactly do i need to do to manage the BGP routing?
I am asking this because from what i have heard, it sounds like a very complicated thing like having a network engineer 24/7 and managing and monitoring network, but i am thinking why does it have to be like that if i can just connect to the provider's router and any traffic that comes through the router goes directly to them, just like as if i have my switch connected to them?
Can it be this way?
Thanks.
