The BGP Origin Attribute
Kristijan Taskovski asked an interesting question related to my BGP AS-prepending lab:
I’ve never personally done this on the net but….wouldn’t the BGP origin code also work with moving one’s ingress traffic similarly to AS PATH?
TL&DR: Sort of, but not exactly. Also, just because you can climb up ropes using shoelaces instead of jumars doesn’t mean you should.
Let’s deal with the moving traffic bit first.

Worth Reading: DNS over IPv6
What happens when you let a bunch of people work on different aspects of a solution without them ever talking to each other? You get DNS over IPv6. As nicely explained by Geoff Huston, this is just one of the bad things that could happen:

Worth Reading: Use of HTTPS DNS Resource Records
Around 30 years after we got the first website, the powers that be realized it might make sense to put this is how you access a web server information (including its IPv4 and IPv6 address, and HTTP(S) support information) directly into DNS, using HTTPS Resource Records. It took us long enough 🤷♂️

HN711: Get Cloud-Like Operation Of Your Data Center With Juniper Apstra And Terraform (Sponsored)
Today on Heavy Networking, sponsored by Juniper, we’ll talk about how Juniper’s Apstra software can help you operate your on-prem data center more like a public cloud; meaning service provisioning that’s repeatable, standardized, and straightforward to consume. We’ll also talk about how Apstra now works with Terraform to help streamline network self-service.

HN711: Get Cloud-Like Operation Of Your Data Center With Juniper Apstra And Terraform (Sponsored)
Public clouds abstract away much of the nitty-gritty work that goes into provisioning infrastructure, including networking. Application teams can quickly connect resources and deploy applications without having to know much about the plumbing that links everything together. When they compare the public cloud experience to standing up applications in an on-prem data center, the on-prem... Read more »Cloudflare Gen 12 Server: Bigger, Better, Cooler in a 2U1N form factor
Two years ago, Cloudflare undertook a significant upgrade to our compute server hardware as we deployed our cutting-edge 11th Generation server fleet, based on AMD EPYC Milan x86 processors. It's nearly time for another refresh to our x86 infrastructure, with deployment planned for 2024. This involves upgrading not only the processor itself, but many of the server's components. It must be able to accommodate the GPUs that drive inference on Workers AI, and leverage the latest advances in memory, storage, and security. Every aspect of the server is rigorously evaluated — including the server form factor itself.
One crucial variable always in consideration is temperature. The latest generations of x86 processors have yielded significant leaps forward in performance, with the tradeoff of higher power draw and heat output. In this post we will explore this trend, and how it informed our decision to adopt a new physical footprint for our next-generation fleet of servers.
In preparation for the upcoming refresh, we conducted an extensive survey of the x86 CPU landscape. AMD recently introduced its latest offerings: Genoa, Bergamo, and Genoa-X, featuring the power of their innovative Zen 4 architecture. At the same time, Intel unveiled Sapphire Rapids as Continue reading
Hedge 204: Terry Slattery on Network Automation
Terry Slattery joins Tom and Russ to continue the conversation on network automation—and why networks are not as automated as they should be. This is part one of a two-part series; the first part of this conversation was posted as episode 203.
Security Solutions that Connect Remote Offices and Users
In this archived panel discussion, Cristina Raducanu, Nia F. Luckey, Rob Ferrill, and Tashya Denose connect to deliver an in-depth conversation detailing the importance of combining networking and security solutions during our ‘Connectivity Solutions’ live virtual event presented by Network Computing. This panel was moderated by Steve Hill on November 9, 2023.30 Days Left to Buy ipSpace.net Subscription
When I announced the lifetime ipSpace.net subscription in early September, I also mentioned that you won’t be able to purchase any ipSpace.net subscription after December 31st, 2023.
As of today, you have 30 days left to decide, and don’t wait till the last minute – I plan to turn off the purchasing process sometime during the business hours of December 31st as I hope to have more interesting things to do in the evening.
