RE: BGP over satellite link - update!!

["Mark Tinka" <mtinka at africaonline.co.ug>]

Typically, yes, but just to examine the possibilities of either scenario,
perhaps. 

That R2 is connected to both B2 and the DVB Encapsulator, or that there are
other only between R2 and the DVB Encapsulator.

Not if I were that provider - it would be an access router which connected
to my own backbone, and I would have different routers for connecting to my
upstreams.

This is unless the provider in question is a one-man-and-dog outfit with a
single router :-)

What I was really wondering was whether R2 (the one you peer with) is
directly connected to both satellite uplink and download boxes, or whether
there are even more routers in the leg between R2 and DVB-E or R2 and B2
(which would complicate things more)

Regards,

Brian.
