Looking for BGP peers

[Michel Py]

Pekka and Pedro,

I assume you meant pTLA, not pTLD?
There is some interest in doing it, let's call it BGP filtering lab.

Michel.

Umm, unless I'm mistaking somehow...

I doubt this makes much sense, because the peers you'd talk with would
not
be able to advertise your prefix (it's /48, limit is like /24 or /28 or
/35, depending).

If you want better connections, RCCN should be doing the peering.

(we were perhaps in a similar situation; "imprisoned" by our pTLD, so we
went and got a 2001: prefix we can announce anywhere we want)
