Melbicom BYOIP Integration Overview

Before you commit
Low confidence: the only public evidence is a vendor blog post. Confirm with a support ticket before planning around this.

Searching for the best IP providers? Melbicom supports BYOIP on its dedicated servers, the BGP session is free, and IPv6 is welcome alongside IPv4. You will need PI space, your own ASN, a valid RPKI ROA and an IRR route object - and anything that validates as RPKI-INVALID gets rejected at the door.

One flag before you plan around this: the only public evidence is a Melbicom blog post, so treat the details as unconfirmed until a support ticket says otherwise.

Caveats and Gotchas

  • Low confidence: the only public evidence is a vendor blog post. Confirm with a support ticket before planning around anything on this page.
  • Melbicom rejects RPKI-INVALID announcements, so an inaccurate ROA will stop your prefix cold. Keep the ROA exact.

Step-by-Step BYOIP Process

Step 1
Open a support ticket

the only public evidence is a blog post, so confirm BYOIP is available on your dedicated server before anything else.

Step 2
Bring PI space and an ASN

your prefix must be provider-independent space and you announce with your own ASN.

Step 3
Publish your ROA

create an RPKI ROA for the prefix - RPKI-INVALID announcements are rejected, so get it exactly right.

Step 4
Create the IRR route object

register a route object matching your prefix and origin ASN.

Step 5
Bring up the BGP session

sessions are free, and since no turnaround is published, confirm the announcement timeline in your ticket.
