frrouting being configured in an identical manner to cisco routers is actually really fucking hilarious

Establish BGP session and configure routing

To use the anycast addresses, you need to establish a BGP session. A specific node can be connected to a single AnycastIP router (IPv4 and IPv6 session) at a given time. You can have multiple nodes per region - all our routers support ECMP.

[1. Install desired routing software (for example, FRRouting, BIRD, Quagga, ExaBGP etc.)]

2. Get the IP addresses of our router in the given region (see below) and configure BGP sessions using the following details

Vyos runs on normal PC hardware. It’s basically a Linux distro.

I personally use FRRouting on Debian hosts.

@patchwork.horse

Hey geeks - If you're interested in networking (Internet scale, inter-AS routing), I've been toying with the idea of using Docker and FRRouting to emulate the Internet.

I'd love feedback if anyone has any!

It’s been a while, but yeah vyos does feel like that.

I’ve been using frrouting primarily.

NVIDIA が FRRouting の開発者をインドのバンガロールで探している。まだ日本よりバンガロールの方がデベロッパーのギャラ安いのかな？人材プールの大きさで数割の報酬差ならインドで採用し続ける気はするけど。Ciscoが日本に開発拠点作ったのが存続していればまた違ったのに。

Good introduction on how to check out and get started with FRR, the Free Range Routing open source project for network engineers.

Getting Started with the FRRouting Project (FRR)

When you’re experimenting with routing in a homelab, you usually face one of two options: spin up vendor simulators that require heavy resources, or rely on static routes and hope it’s “good enough…

FRR(zebra)＆SONiC(Fpmsyncd)のuSID拡張はCiscoが支援して University of Rome の Carmine Scarpitta が実装しています。ベースの normal SID な SRv6 では Cisco の Pablo など IETF で馴染みなメンバーがデザインやレビューで参加していますね。
