Yesterday we upgraded the transmission core switches at Qupra DC - while NorthC in Almere was busy burning down.

Yesterday we took MPLS into service, and are delivering our first 20 or so circuits.

Today we will connect Iron Mountain to Qupra using a DWDM connection. EUNetworks will lose network redundancy with only one uplink left. Then, on Sat/Sun we will move from EUNetworks to Iron Mountain, so the window of risk is only two days.

Scratched an itch that's been bothering me for a while. I created a vpp-pcap tool to serve network engineers working with #VPP who want something akin to #tcpdump.

VPP has some very rich tracing tools, but I find them ergonomically challenging to use. I came up as a network engineer in the late 90s and early 2000s - this feels much more natural to me.

The repository is on GitHub. Both a plugin and a small Rust utility are used to provide live access to data passing through the VPP dataplane. It can also be chained with tcpdump, tshark, or wireshark to use those familiar interfaces. Usage details are in the GitHub README.

License is Apache 2.0, so use it as you'd like.

Is anyone using VPP on FreeBSD? A bunch of work went into porting it but I havent see much mention of it being implemented anywhere

I might experiment with RFC 8925 tomorrow night to signal to clients on my #IPv6 preferred subnet to disable their IPv4 stacks altogether. That might take another patch to the #VPP router advertisement process.

I can disable IPv4 on my Macs and they engage the CLAT based on the PREF64 and RDNSS flags. But Android seems to be stubborn. It won't stay connected without DHCP (v4) on the network. Maybe RFC 8925 will help.

Extending the Vector Packet Processing Engine

I've been building core networking components to leverage VPP more fully as a branch router. Here is an overview of that work.
