The IDR Working Group, which standardizes BGP in the IETF, is doing last call for the linklocal capability feature.

IPv6-linklocal-only peering is a popular mechanism for some operators who want to avoid uniquely numbering links in network scenarios where the number is irrelevant. This is especially the case for things that are otherwise point to point links. Some people like these in data center use cases!

However, linklocal-only peering has been underspecified and buggy between implementations. This draft fixes that.

Please consider reviewing the draft and providing feedback to the working group mailing list.[1] This can be "yeah, it's ready to go" or "I see a problem here"...

So far from the technical perspective I like #hostiko the most.

They are so far the only (European) cloud provider that happily and readily offered to do a private #ASN peering between the VPS servers and their infra.

The Fast Way to Sweden – BGP Routing Experiments

핀란드 헬싱키에서 스톡홀름 VPS로의 네트워크 지연 시간을 줄이기 위한 BGP 라우팅 실험을 진행했다. 기존 경로들이 지리적으로 비효율적인 경로를 거치고 있어, BGP 커뮤니티를 활용해 트래픽이 스톡홀름 내에서만 흐르도록 제한하는 방식을 시도했다. 이를 통해 ISP 간 피어링과 업스트림 경로를 제어하여 지연 시간을 개선할 가능성을 탐색했다. 본 실험은 AI 인프라 및 네트워크 최적화에 관심 있는 개발자에게 유용한 사례다.

Quick BGP fixing...

When using Arista, remember to check it before 😬

If BGP Peering were like modern onlinedating; part 3:

"I am running an unfiltered network and I expect you to neither"

Anybody successfully #peering with #iEdon (#AS4242422189) on #DN42? Somehow my announcements get filtered by them while Kioubit accepts the exact same announcements without a problem.

Два Kubernetes-кластера — одна сеть: объединяем через Mesh и межкластерный роутинг

Когда Kubernetes-кластеров становится больше одного, инфраструктура начинает жить по новым правилам. Один кластер развёрнут в основном датацентре, второй — в резервной площадке. Сложности начинаются в тот момент, когда этим кластерам нужно взаимодействовать друг с другом. Сервисы в одном кластере должны обращаться к сервисам в другом, приложениям требуется нормальная маршрутизация, а инженерам хочется управлять этим без набора временных решений вроде iptables и ручных DNS-записей. В качестве сетевого слоя будем использовать Calico , а для межкластерного взаимодействия сервисов — Istio . Первый даст маршрутизацию и связность, второй — discovery, балансировку и управление трафиком на уровне приложений.
