ISP best practices

Thu May 21 14:19:24 UTC 2009

    The problem with ISP essentials is it was published in 2002. Same goes
for some of the other good Cisco books. A lot has changed  in the ISP world
since.  Sure it has good information but I wouldn¹t spend the $ for a new
copy.  Find it on half.com or somewhere.

be the rules have changed. I am looking to set up a really small ISP with a few
/24's. I want to host DNS as well. Is there any whitepapers/howtos/best
practices on setting up multihomed BGP and DNS with BIND so I don't blow up the
Internet.

BCP 38:
- http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3704.txt

ISP Essentials:
- http://www.ciscopress.com/bookstore/product.asp?isbn=1587050412

Securing IP Network Traffic Planes:
- http://www.ciscopress.com/bookstore/product.asp?isbn=1587053365

- anything and everything regarding IPv6.

...would be a VERY good start (I've read Securing IP Traffic Planes
which is also great reference, and am just finishing up ISP Essentials,
which is dated, but the principles still apply).
