Can I Replace a Commercial Load Balancer with HAProxy?
A networking engineer attending the Building Next-Generation Data Centers online course sent me this question:
My client will migrate their data center, so they’re not interested in upgrading existing $vendor load balancers. Would HAProxy be a good alternative?
As you might be facing a similar challenge, here’s what I told him:
Read more ...The Case of the Missing LDP Neighbor
R1 and R2 are cabled up twice to each other via their gig0/0/1 interfaces and their gig0/0/7 interfaces. Each connection is in its own subnet, and each interface configured for OSPF and MPLS. But while we have 2 OSPF neighbors between them… we only have 1 LDP neighbor.
R1#show mpls int
Interface IP Tunnel BGP Static Operational
Gi0/0/1 Yes (ldp) No No No Yes
Gi0/0/7 Yes (ldp) No No No Yes
R1#
So as you can see from the output of show mpls interface, gig0/0/1 and gig0/0/7 are both configured for MPLS LDP. Why then if we look below do we see only 1 MPLS LDP neighbor between them?
What is the problem? Actually… in this situation there isn’t a problem. This is actually expected behavior.
R1#sh mpls ldp neighbor
Peer LDP Ident: 10.100.100.2:0; Local LDP Ident 10.100.100.1:0

OAuth Auth Server through Workers
Let’s pretend I own a service and I want to grant other services access to my service on behalf of my users. The familiar OAuth 2.0 is the industry standard used by the likes of Google sign in, Facebook, etc. to communicate safely without inconveniencing users.
Implementing an OAuth Authentication server is conceptually simple but a pain in practice. We can leverage the power of Cloudflare Worker to simplify the implementation, reduce latency, and segregate our service logic from the authentication layer.
For those unfamiliar with OAuth, I highly recommend reading a more in depth article.
The steps of the OAuth 2.0 workflow are as follows:
- The consumer service redirects the user to a callback URL that was setup by the auth server. At this callback URL, the auth server asks the user to sign in and accept the consumer permissions requests.
- The auth server redirects the user to the consumer service with a code.
- The consumer service asks to exchange this code for an access token. The consumer service validates their identity by including their client secret in the callback URL.
- The auth server gives the consumer the access token.
- The consumer service can now use Continue reading

Tusheti Community Network One Year Later: Creating Impact, Sustainability, and Scalability
Connecting the most remote and challenging territories of any country to the Internet can be tough. Typically, Internet access spreads gradually from urban conglomerations towards smaller hubs, and finally, to the most remote and sparsely populated areas. This is just common business sense.
Many of these remote areas are unique in terms of their people, culture, and livelihood, and Internet access can make a world of difference. This was the case when the Internet Society, together with its local partners, launched the first community network in Georgia, in the mountainous region of Tusheti, in September 2017.
Creating Impact
One year on, the Internet has made a significant difference to the lives of the Tushetians. This week, the Internet Society published an impact assessment on the Tusheti community network highlighting the transformation in tourism, e-commerce, and people’s livelihoods.
The Internet has had a positive impact on tourism through more effective online advertising and sales, and through efficiencies in businesses operations. With these encouraging developments, local residents are investing in the construction and opening of new guesthouses. The Internet has also increased the levels of safety and mobility in this remote part of the world by providing a communications channel to Continue reading
