DTAG

Does anyone know a provider, that has peering with DTAG, offers the BGP session, and has great BGP communities options available so I can only announce to DTAG?

Kind regards

Try iFog.ch (AS34927). DTAG is worldwide present. See https://lg.telekom.com.

Why would you only want to announce to DTAG?

DTAG in Europe charges a lot for access into the Telekom network.

The OP is trying to use someone else's paid peering into DTAG, while utilising their cheaper transit that someone has calculated as being a mix therefore potentially causing the provider to generate loss on the deal.

(whether or not this is intended, this is what it boils down to)

Yes, exactly. But apart from the direct connection ("paid peering") it's a horrible idea to route everything over DTAG, because all pipes are completely congested so there will be a lot of packet loss.

I suppose to tunnel the DTAG traffic through said provider, that's when BGP comes to play ;-).
