IDG Contributor Network: The history of cloud: a fairy tale

Once upon a time, in a magic, faraway land called “The 1990s,” every application had its own set of physical servers. Citizens of this land, who sometimes called themselves "developers," feared getting fired for not having enough capacity to handle peak loads. New physical servers took months to be delivered, so developers ordered more data center hardware than they probably needed. Because it was so difficult to get new machines, developers treated them like pets, gave them names and took great care to keep them up and running at all times. Everybody was so excited about the “Internet Bubble” and the land grab that was going on that no one seemed to care about underutilized hardware. To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

BGP Route Reflector routing loop problem !

BGP Route reflector routing loop arise in IP networks. In this post, I will illustrate the topology which will loop the IP packets between the routers and I will describe multiple possible solution and share a best practice to design BGP Route Reflector in an IP network.       BGP Route Reflector Routing loop […]

BGP Peer Groups

Today I am going to explain the concept of the BGP peer groups. So if you able to understand the concept by name as they have a group by which they share same kind of policies and the configurations. Now the question is why we are doing this. 

Sometimes we have a network where we really want to deploy the same kind of the configuration with the same policies and we can achieve in two different ways. One is to configure all the router one by one manually and it is a time consuming task. The other way to define the same set of the configurations and the policies is to set up with the peer groups in the BGP. So if there are 4 routers and we want to have these routers with same kind of configurations and the policies we can set all of them in a peer group.

So with the above explained definition hope you guys understand the concept of the peer group. Now we are going to talk about the configuration with the help of the topology. The Topology and the IP used in this article is for demo purposes and has no relevance Continue reading

Why We Terminated Daily Stormer

Earlier today, Cloudflare terminated the account of the Daily Stormer. We've stopped proxying their traffic and stopped answering DNS requests for their sites. We've taken measures to ensure that they cannot sign up for Cloudflare's services ever again.

Our terms of service reserve the right for us to terminate users of our network at our sole discretion. The tipping point for us making this decision was that the team behind Daily Stormer made the claim that we were secretly supporters of their ideology.

Our team has been thorough and have had thoughtful discussions for years about what the right policy was on censoring. Like a lot of people, we’ve felt angry at these hateful people for a long time but we have followed the law and remained content neutral as a network. We could not remain neutral after these claims of secret support by Cloudflare.

Now, having made that decision, let me explain why it's so dangerous.

Where Do You Regulate Content on the Internet?

There are a number of different organizations that work in concert to bring you the Internet. They include:

  • Content creators, who author the actual content online.
  • Platforms (e.g., Facebook, Wordpress, etc.), where Continue reading
