New node !

dn42-jp-tyo1 has been commissioned and is open for new peers in Tokyo, Japan.

Updated host information and network map with new nodes.

New peers added:

• AS4242423090/HEIAS at dn42-fr-rbx1
• AS4242421979/MDUCHARME at dn42-us-sea2

dn42-us-sea2 is now operational and available for peering.

tinc + babeld is not a winning combination. Since introducing babeld, the burble.dn42 WAN overlay has experienced a number of periods of instability, with nodes dropping on and off the network.

The WAN has been updated to use a Wireguard mesh with OSPF as IGP, and is now significantly more stable again.

New peers added:

• AS4242420260/GISH at dn42-au-syd1
• AS4242421009/KLARA at dn42-no-osl1
• AS4242420058/ILL at dn42-au-syd1
• AS4242422547/LANTIAN at dn42-fr-rbx1 / dn42-us-lax2 / dn42-sg-sin3

Three new nodes will be available for peering soon:

• dn42-us-chi2 - Chicago, United States
• dn42-us-sea2 - Seattle, United States
• dn42-us-dal3 - Dallas, United States

dn42-us-dal1 locked up, and has been restarted.

dn42-uk-lon1, dn42-lt-vil1, dn42-sg-sin1 and dn42-us-mia1 all locked up at 03:00 UTC and have now been restarted.

Black Friday has delivered four new nodes to the burble.dn42 network:

• dn42-vn-han1 - Hanoi, Vietnam
• dn42-no-osl1 - Oslo, Norway
• dn42-ca-bhs1 - Beauharnois, Canada
• dn42-us-lax2 - Los Angeles, United States
• dn42-sg-sin3 - Singapore

All nodes are open to new peers, so just contact [email protected] if you’d like to connect to the network.

New peers added:

• AS4242420165/ZAICA at dn42-fr-rbx1
• AS42424222673/CORESTORAGE at dn42-uk-lon1

Updates to reverse DNS.

Added new peers

• AS4242423640/HESSENET at dn42-fr-rbx1
• AS4242420149/NIRF at dn42-lt-vil1

The internal routing protocol (IGP) for burble.dn42 has moved from OSPF to using babeld.

All nodes on the burble.dn42 network are inter-connected with a tinc mesh. Despite the network physically spanning across contintents, OSPF saw the tinc overlay network as being flat which prevented effective use of technologies such as anycast and forced the use of central resources. The hope is that babel, configured to use an RTT metric, will allow better use of regional services.

Please let me know if you observe any issues due to the new IGP.

New node in Istanbul, Turkey.

dn42-tr-ist1 has been commissioned and is now open for new peers. See the peering page for more details.
