Caveats and Gotchas
- Prolexic Routed returns clean traffic over GRE. Prolexic Connect uses a direct connectivity or VLAN arrangement.
- A universal requirement to own a public ASN was not established. The routed design does require BGP capability.
- LOA and RPKI requirements are not established in the reviewed public sources.
- Prolexic analytics APIs do not make prefix onboarding automatic. Connectivity partners are not additional BYOIP providers.
