After publishing a guide that shared a full European IPv4 BGP feed, the author received requests for an equivalent IPv6 stream. Responding to the demand, he opened a second, unrestricted feed that mirrors the original setup. Participants must run the connection at their own risk; the provider disclaims any liability if the session destabilizes routers or reroutes traffic and can be used for research purposes.

To pull the IPv4 feed, users configure an eBGP multihop session to 85.232.240.179, advertise ASN 65001, and set hello/hold timers to 3600/7200 seconds. The IPv6 counterpart uses 2001:1A68:2C:2::179 with identical timers and the same ASN numbers, while the provider’s ASN remains 57355. A local‑as clause lets labs keep their own ASN but appear as 65001 toward the route server. This setup enables full‑mesh visibility of route announcements.

Sample IOS, IOS‑XE and IOS‑XR configurations are provided, showing how to activate the neighbor, apply a deny‑all prefix list, and optionally tweak TCP buffers for better performance. Users should also monitor the session for unexpected flaps. The service is offered without warranty and may be terminated at any time, so operators should treat it as a temporary lab resource rather than a production‑grade feed.
