🌐 Could BGP become part of your application delivery strategy?
With Anycast, eBGP, iBGP and ECMP, BGP can enable intelligent routing, multi-datacenter failover and traffic optimization.
Our latest technical guide explores how RELIANOID leverages BGP for high availability without relying exclusively on DNS-based load balancing.

In my last blog post I said I really don’t need any more peers for AS201379.
Then @reulnl showed up with: “Hey, want a connection to Piter-IX?”
Obviously, the correct sysadmin response was: yes.
So here we are: 10 peers now. Including one via LowPing.nl going straight to Piter-IX. 😅
At this point, “I should stop growing the network” has roughly the same credibility as “this is the last server I’m buying.”

Newly discovered tool: bgproutes.io
The web UI sure looks fancy. The fact that it's actually several different tools, each under it's own subdomain, somehow confuses me. -

For future reference:
/usr/bin/sh -c 'awk -v RS="" "/protocol static {\n\s+aspa/,/^}/" < /etc/bird-rpki/bird > /etc/bird-rpki/birdfilt'

🚀 Wow, they "implemented" #IPv8 in #Linux and BGP! 🌐 Because why stop at solving real problems when you can play make-believe with internet protocols? 🤡 Remember, if your tech isn't hyped up enough, just add a bigger number! 😂

Can I get ASPA validation (with Debian stable packages?)
fort-validator 1.6.6 does not seem to have it (only 1.7.0-experimental?)
stayrtr 0.6.4 apparently doesn't either.
What now? -
Stop manually adding static routes every time you spin up a K8s LoadBalancer. iBGP automates internal routing for multi-subnet labs. This guide shows the exact MikroTik config used in production homelabs. #BGP #Kubernetes #Networking

Weird.
I have a #BGP session with a transit provider over a virtual exchange.
They apparently send me the full ipv6 table.
I only receive(!) a few dozen routes. (Before filtering).Is it MTU? Is it "extended messages"? Is it something else?
I guess I'll have to take a look at a tcpdump? -

- Updated my PeeringDB info
- Updated my RIPE NCC database info
- dropped some dead sessions where the endpoint was no longer reachable -
Anyone go experience with "hop179"?

I wonder if I should have transit from them for my AS. -

Claudio Jeker (claudio@) has announced the release of OpenBGPD 9.2 -portable.

Freshly updated: my AS201379 page.
IPv6-only, FreeBSD + FRR, 2a06:9801:1c::/48.
Now with an at-a-glance table (ASN, AS-SET, contacts), full upstream list and new EVIX alongside LocIX Düsseldorf and FogIXP.
Peering policy is open. If we share a presence at any of those three, I'd love to peer: [email protected]

Today, I discovered by accident that my #ISP that is exclusively active in #Germany doesn't have a direct peering link to #DTAG. While #BGPTools aggregation graph can be trusted, I tracerouted a few connections to some known DTAG services. My packets always route over #Zayo.
For me, it was a surprise to discover that my ISP with over 300
/24IPv4 networks, doesn't have a direct peering agreement with the largest German network. -
Am I doing something wrong or is there an error in the #FRR documentation???
this syntax doesn't appear to work.
> ip route NETWORK GATEWAY IFNAME [tag TAG] [DISTANCE] [metric METRIC] [weight WEIGHT] [onlink] [table TABLENO] [nexthop-vrf VRFNAME] [vrf VRFNAME]
The "[metric METRIC]" does not autocomplete and it rejects my command when I try to use it.
Can someone please provide a working example of using metric when also network, gateway and a interface name are specified?
-
Anyone know a trick to get FRR/BGP to install a route to a remote host that is preferred over a local one?
Specifically I want the iBGP peers IPs to fall back to a local dummy interface when the route vanishes to serve a "site is under maintenance" message.
How do you do that properly?
(Also this is my first time configuring BGP myself and not just designing the flow and having someone else write the config...)
-
I broke my route validation in my AS by adding the aspa block to my bird config :(
Apparently bird will transport-error (or stayrtr will drop the connection) then.
And now I'm in a fucking sync-running/transport-error loop, even though I removed the aspa block.And I have to go to work and can't fix it.
Saaaaaaad. :( -
I can't do #aspa validation myself yet. Because apparently, neither Fort nor StayRTR support it yet fully?
-
Huh. #freetransit just sent me a mail I need to create an ASPA record?
Never heard of that before o.o
