Who wants to help me get this thing up and running with FRR and BGP unnumbered?

Time to dream up a new DC networking architecture :)

I definitely have wanted to do FRR some in my life. Love the BGP unnumbered ambition, heck yes, make friends (peers) along the way.

hoo boy that thing looks like it can push a few packets

Your multiplayer DOOM LAN parties will have such low ping

Oh no, it has holes

Quick, buy more stuff, use all the ports

Also now is probably a good time to plug that we have an open SRE role. Looking specifically for someone with recent bare metal experience and/or BGP and DC/Internet networking experience - https://jobs.gem.com/bluesky/am9icG9zdDoyr4OBTC6qHPZOpaZM979q

Fleet management and DC networking are places we could use some help!

Yeah I think I'm out. I'm just now trying to get back in to baremetal after a decade of huffing the cloud.

Honestly inspired by what the #bsky team did with it, so I'm pushing the org I'm at towards much more radical platform agnosticism and the $$ math checks out.

I'll try again in 4 years 😂

Getting that black thing up and running for DC is not easy:

👀 if fren, why not fren priced?

jaz.bsky.social•29 days ago

it is! you can get used sn2700s on eBay for $1k these days!

My old boss showed me how cheap DC gear is on eBay and it was a mild infohazard exposure

We built a university on Gray Market gear. Easy to self-insure when switches are 1/6th the cost of new.

twotwotwo.bsky.social•29 days ago

Yeah. On the one hand, slightly higher chance it dies early, on the other, you can add a spare everything and still come out cheaper

Yessir... another Uni decided to drop *ALL* of their EX4300's around ~18months in. +800 40G capable switches at ~$1100pc, around that time QFX prices were bottoming out.

160Gbps of redundant BW to each building core, and the savings afforded us a new MX240

Deployed the 76 seat labs at line-rate :)
