[as112-ops] AS112 node at the Toronto Internet Exchange

[Jonathan Stewart]

Hey Stpehen,

At MBIX we've been running an AS112 node since the beginning, about 2 years
ago.  It was a good test as a real BGP peer, back when we had 3 ISPs only.

We implement it with BIND and Quagga on Ubuntu LTS.

It operates on the a global unicast IP address, 192.175.48.6 (and 2
others), which is announced by quagga.  Because peers prefer the IXP route,
they send traffic to the MBIX node.

The current status is that it's IPv4 only, and my DSC visuals are broken.
So upgrades are needed, and your project may inspire us to upgrade ours.

Is William Sotomayor on this list?  I'm sure he runs one at OttIX.

Jonathan
