  Hi Alex,
 
  You can usually deconfigure the extra IP's on the box and send them
  down the tunnel. At worst you do a little proxy arp to tell the router
  that your vps still serves those addresses.
 
  You'll find providers are reluctant to assign /28's and /29's to
  low-dollar VPS services.

  They do but it's BYOA and $10/mo generally doesn't cut it.

Re: OT: VPS with Routed IP space

2015-02-24 Thread Zachary Giles
Thanks to those who mailed off-list for the BGP thread-jack. Seems like
those providers that do BGP would probably route their own space to VPS as
well.. (Like OP want. if I understand correctly). Some of them even state
that they even SWIP the addresses, which is positive.

Re: High throughput bgp links using gentoo + stipped kernel

2013-05-19 Thread Zachary Giles
I had two Dell R3xx 1U servers with Quad Gige Cards in them and a few small
BGP connections for a few year. They were running CentOS 5 + Quagga with a
bunch of stuff turned off. Worked extremely well. We also had really small
traffic back then.

Server hardware has become amazingly fast under-the-covers these days. It
certainly still can't match an ASIC designed solution from Cisco etc, but
it should be able to push several GB of traffic.
In HPC storage applications, for example, we have multiple servers with
Quad 40Gig and IB pushing ~40GB of traffic of fairly large blocks. It's not
network, but it does demonstrate pushing data into daemon applications and
back down to the kernel at high rates.
Certainly a kernel routing table with no iptables and a small Quagga daemon
in the background can push similar.

In other words, get new hardware and design it flow.

 Hello Michael,

 I totally understand how my question is generic in nature. I will
 defiantly take a look at Vyatta, and weigh the effort vs. benefit
 topic. The purpose of my email is to see how people with similar
 setups managed to get more out of their system using kernel tweaks or
 further stripping on their OS. In our case, we are using Gentoo.

Re: Muni fiber: L1 or L2?

2013-01-29 Thread Zachary Giles
One thing that is bothersome about carriers is that sometimes if they
have Tons of fiber to your building, they still will only offer
Layer2/3 services. If there's fiber there, I'd like to be able to
lease it in some fashion (even if expensive, but preferably not).

If a muni is making something that is good for the public, I think
they can and should offer Layer2 services, but also make the option to
directly get the fibers at a reasonable price .. even for Individuals
and small companies. I think services that are offered should also
provide the ability to order the subcomponents including Layer1.

That should encourage competition, usability, and fun. I'd totally get
a 10G from my work to home or whatever.

 From: Leo Bicknell bickn...@ufp.org

 I am a big proponent of muni-owned dark fiber networks. I want to
 be 100% clear about what I advocate here:

 - Muni-owned MMR space, fiber only, no active equipment allowed. A
 big cross connect room, where the muni-fiber ends and providers are
 all allowed to colocate their fiber term on non-discriminatory terms.

 - 4-6 strands per home, home run back to the muni-owned MMR space.
 No splitters, WDM, etc, home run glass. Terminating on an optical
 handoff inside the home.

 Hmmm.  I tend to be a Layer-2-available guy, cause I think it lets smaller
 players play.  Does your position (likely more deeply thought out than
 mine) permit Layer 2 with Muni ONT and Ethernet handoff, as long as clients
 are *also* permitted to get a Layer 1 patch to a provider in the fashion you
 suggest?

 (I concur with your 3-pair delivery, which makes this more practical on an
 M-A-C basis, even if it might require some users to have multiple ONTs...)

Re: IPv6 Netowrk Device Numbering BP

2012-11-01 Thread Zachary Giles
Though 2001:abcd::192:168:10:10 was written in a format with both :
and . , I think would could take the concept mentioned above and
extend it either by making it
2001:abcd::C0:A8:0A:0A
or
2001:abcd::C0A8:0A0A

Doing the latter wastes less space and let's the host use the upper
32bits of the host portion for vhosts.
Ex: 2001:abcd::1:C0A8:0A0A

Should be easy enough as something like pxelinux already squishes your
v4 address down to do file searching on tftp servers.
Ex: /mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C25B for 192.0.2.91


I personally have for this use the last 32bits of the v6 address for
the v4 dual stack address trick and was happy with it. Still fits
with the concept of give each host a /64

 That is a clever idea except that it can not always follow
 modified EUI-64 format aof rfc4291.

 We should better introduce partially decimal format for
 IPv6 addresses or, better, avoid IPv6 entirely.

 Masataka Ohta




 Another option would be to do both. Assign a fixed address and also
 let it chose EUI-64. However, I see that leading to confusion. Not
 sure what good it would do.

 Is there anything like a standard, best practice for this (yet)?
 What are other people doing and their reasons? Anyone have operational
 experience with what works and what does not (and the what does
 not is probably really of more interest)?

 Letting the host choose it's own IP can be very tricky and has
 operational hurdles along the way as it's not that easy to copy
 configurations across devices during upgrades and maintenance swap
 outs.
