Best Linux (or BSD) hosted BGP?

2023-05-01 Thread Bryan Fields
I know best subjective, but I'm looking at a project to announce some IP space that's between uses now and see what's there. I'm planing to run a flow logger and ntop on the VM and see what is coming in if anything. I'm looking at the options for BGP out there, and there's quite a few (other t

VyOS uses FRR, but they used to run quagga. And most bsd(?)/linux package managers has frr in their repository so maybe that could be something to look at? On 23/05/01 13:27, Josh Luthman wrote: Doesn't VyOS simply use Quagga? On Mon, May 1, 2023 at 12:09 PM Jean Franco wrote: Hi, VyOS

I think FRR is a fork of Quagga. On Mon, May 1, 2023 at 2:04 PM Tomas Jonsson wrote: > VyOS uses FRR, but they used to run quagga. > > And most bsd(?)/linux package managers has frr in their repository so > maybe that could be something to look at? > > > On 23/05/01 13:27, Josh Luthman wrote: >

Routed optical networks

2023-05-01 Thread Etienne-Victor Depasquale via NANOG
Hello folks, Simple question: does "routed optical networks" have a clear meaning in the metro area context, or not? Put differently: does it call to mind a well-defined stack of technologies in the control and data planes of metro-area networks? I'm asking because I'm having some thoughts about

Maybe some clarification as to what you're asking for would help. You're mixing fiber, networks, and a MAN. Fiber is just the medium. It could be for IP switching or projecting a light show. Are you asking if there are diverse paths throughout a metro area? On Mon, May 1, 2023 at 2:30 PM Etien

2023-05-01 Thread Matt Erculiani
Hi Etienne In short, the idea is that optical networks are wasteful and routers do a better job making more use of a network's capacity than ROADMs. Take the extra router hop (or 3 or 8) versus short-cutting it with an optical network because the silicon is so low-latency anyway that it hardly mak

Hi Etienne, It depends on who is the owner of the fiber. The incumbent carrier typically has enough fiber strands to avoid any colored interfaces (that are 3x expensive compare to gray) in the Metro. Metro ring typically has 8-10 nodes (or similar). 16-20 strands of fiber were not possible to co
