Next-Hop-Self

And college started after pretty good holi holidays. Again having bit painful time due to hot weather and this is just start of summers. Well all I can hope is that there won’t be voltage issues in village again (like last time). And just to make sure on that part - I have put 2 RTI’s asking Power department about their preparation details. :)

Anyways coming on blog post topic for the day - the effect of “next-hop-self” at an IXP when there are peers as well as transit customers of a network. Just to be clear in start - this post will stick to technical side of it and without going into IXP policy side of it.
