New book on LISP – Locator and Identity Separation Protocol

New book is released on LISP – Locator and Identity Separation Protocol. “LISP Network Deployment and Troubleshooting: The Complete Guide to LISP Implementation on IOS-XE, IOS-XR, and NX-OS” I still couldn’t start to read it as the authors didn’t send my own copy yet :), but I want to congratulate the authors, Tarique, Vinit and …

What is last hop router and first hop router in Multicast?

What is last hop router and first hop router in Multicast? These are important  terms which are used in Multicast. In this post, I will explain the terms, differences and some detail about this term.   In fact, last hop router and the first hop router can be considered as the same thing. But I …

When Is Something SD-WAN?

A couple of days ago, I wrote on LinkedIn asking you what a SD-WAN solution should consist of.

https://www.linkedin.com/posts/danieldib_sdn-sdwan-wan-activity-6583614108971655168-BH8x

The post was meant to create a discussion and there were a lot of great answers. Some of the features are “must have” and some of them are “nice to have”. I’m not claiming to have all of the answers but here are some of my thoughts on the topic.

Automated VPN – There should be a mechanism to help you build the IPSec tunnels. You should not have to configure them manually. Traditionally, we often used something like DMVPN to build the tunnels for us. Consider the following:

• How are devices onboarded? Who can join the overlay?
• Are tunnels built using certificates or pre-shared key?
• How often are keys rotated? If at all
• How do you prevent a stolen router from joining the overlay?

Separation of control- and data plane – This one is debatable but there should a mechanism to influence topology of the overlay, and routing of the edge devices, using a central mechanism. With DMVPN, we had the ability to do Hub & Spoke or fully meshed, but there was no granular control. We could Continue reading

Changing Cisco IOS BGP Policies Based on IP SLA Measurements

This is a guest blog post by Philippe Jounin, Senior Network Architect at Orange Business Services.

You could use track objects in Cisco IOS to track route reachability or metric, the status of an interface, or IP SLA compliance for a long time. Initially you could use them to implement reliable static routing (or even shut down a BGP session) or trigger EEM scripts. With a bit more work (and a few more EEM scripts) you could use object tracking to create time-dependent static routes.

Cisco IOS 15 has introduced Enhanced Object Tracking that allows first-hop router protocols like VRRP or HSRP to use tracking state to modify their behavior.

Not so static… Introducing the HTMLRewriter API Beta to Cloudflare Workers

Today, we’re excited to announce HTMLRewriter beta — a streaming HTML parser with an easy to use selector based JavaScript API for DOM manipulation, available in the Cloudflare Workers runtime.

For those of you who are unfamiliar, Cloudflare Workers is a lightweight serverless platform that allows developers to leverage Cloudflare’s network to augment existing applications or create entirely new ones without configuring or maintaining infrastructure.

Static Sites to Dynamic Applications

On Friday we announced Workers Sites: a static site deployment workflow built into the Wrangler CLI tool. Now, paired with the HTML Rewriter API, you can perform DOM transformations on top of your static HTML, right on the Cloudflare edge.

You could previously do this by ingesting the entire body of the response into the Worker, however, that method was prone to introducing a few issues. First, parsing a large file was bound to run into memory or CPU limits. Additionally, it would impact your TTFB as the body could no longer be streamed, and the browser would be prevented from doing any speculative parsing to load subsequent assets.

HTMLRewriter was the missing piece to having your application fully live on the edge – soup to nuts. You can Continue reading
