    @Francisco said: I'm just trying to decide if I get the IX or some HE bandwidth (the bandwidth would be good).

    IX's are always a good idea; especially if you can make them accessible as a partner/reseller to your customers, entering the market of prem LowEnd IXP VMs. :smiley:

    However, I guess there won't be much benefit of connecting to LU-CIX as most of your traffic probably isn't directed to networks by local LU carriers.

    Since you probably need some additional transit besides Cogent anyways, I think I'd go for some solid HE bandwidth creating a balanced upstream mix. But of course this is just one personal opinion. :smile:

    I agree completely.

    I could try to peer with the main ISP in LU on the IX, but that's about it. To be honest I think just having HE gives a good chance of having a pretty direct connection to them anyway.

    2020 has been the year of improving the entire product line as a whole. Next year will be a focus on marketing and growth, god willing.

    P.S. @Francisco: As I just noticed an empty link (href=#) in Stallion named "BGP communities": Consider adding some goodies like Don't Announce and Prepend 1-3 for Cogent/HE, to make your BGP-capable Slices as enjoyable as possible. :smiley:
    However, I guess that you most likely already have this on your roadmap. :smile:

    NL-IX is also available in Luxembourg I guess, as it’s pan European, might be a good addition.

    Those do exist, I'll work on a modal tonight :)

    But:

    53667,0,1 = learned from transit
    53667,0,2 = learned from peer
    53667,0,3 = learned from client
    
    Examples:
    
    53667,1,174 = learned from cogent transit
    53667,1,6939 = learned from HE transit
    
    53667,2,8100 = learned from Quadranet peer
    
    53667,3,20150 = learned from AnyNode client
    
    Prepends/No Exports:
    
    53667,10x,y = x = prepend 1,2,3(or 9 dont) and y = ASN

    Great! :sunglasses:
    But may... I kindly ask for some backward compatibility for routing gear not supporting extended communities?
    I don't know how many upstreams you intend to add, but maybe something like 53667:1yy (learned from y) and 53667:1yyx (prepend x to y) might work as well.
    Just in case you haven't finished your thoughts yet. :)

    We went with large communities since we'll have people with longer 4 byte ASN's and such. I'll think about finding a way to tag for 'normal' communities :) If you got some ideas let me know and I can probably make BIRD do it.

  • dfroedfroe Member, Host Rep

    @Francisco I see your point. Well, but on the other hand (universal) extended communities and (legacy) communities shouldn't exclude each other. So you could keep your existing BIRD config and simply add 53667:1yy and 53667:1yyx tags for your main upstreams.

    Maybe something like:

    learned from
    53667:174 = Cogent transit
    53667:169 = HE transit
    53667:181 = Quadranet peer
    
    prepend n={1,2,3} or no_announce(n=0) to
    53667:174n = Cogent transit
    53667:169n = HE transit
    53667:181n = Quadranet peer
    

    or in other words:

    53667:1xx = learned from xx
    53667:1xxn = prepend n={1,2,3} or no_announce(n=0) to xx
    
    xx:
    74 = Cogent transit
    69 = HE transit
    81 = Quadranet peer

    @dfroe I'll think on it :) We could always just limit the legacy comm's for transit/major peering agreements.

    The modal's now in place :) I've removed the text and swapped it over to a button that pops a modal with the information.

    Congrats, looks pretty nice, and makes Stallion even more unique and lovely. :smiley:
    I like self-made panels and Stallion's user experience which is always a clean and fresh surprise to work with.

    What can we do with this? I'm a bit of a n00b when it comes to this stuff.

    You could make it so your dockers get their own /64 of IPv6 IP's.

    Or maybe you're running a VPN and want each user to get their own /64 of IPV6 instead of just NAT.

  • Looks like I'm gonna wait for the LUX slices to drop again then :'(

    Pallets in the airport. Was some confusion/delays over who was handling customs. That was resolved yesterday so I'm hoping to see it arrive for Monday :) I'm also hoping LuxConnect will let us count the time it was in the airport towards the quarantine time.

  • Thank you for keeping us up to date @Francisco Really appreciate you doing that.
    Hoping to be your customer real soon!

    Slabs in Lux? How about Singapore?

    I hope you'll be my customer too ;)

    Anthony & I figure it'll take 3 - 4 days to get everyone migrated, hopefully a lot sooner if the 10gbit network is turned up from the start.

    @cazrz said: @Francisco

    Slabs are on the pallet :) I figure we'll have them live within a week of slices + 10gbit network being rolled out. Most likely a lot sooner than that.

    Singapore has some draconian censorship laws in place that makes it a no for us.

    Right now we're considering a UK launch (be it we buy another brand and merge it into the family), and or somewhere like Japan. Japan seems to be freedom of speech laws similar to that of the States with the only issue most likely being porn censorship.

    I'm open to suggestions and feedback :)

    Francisco

  • Japan should be fine too.

    Thanked by 1Francisco
  • UK would be cool. Virgin Media does not support IPv6 so it would be cool to have a slice in London to Wireguard to.

    Hit us up with UK. If you manage to score some linx or some other IX - that will be a huge bonus as well :-)

    We'd be in London so we'd get on the most connected LINX possible.

    Assuming that was to happen :)

  • if you chose japan, you might get a lot of user from Asian. might or might not be good for your business to be frank. there are people who need better route within asia, but not all of them with the right reason.
    Australia is an viable alternative if needs to be closer to asia, plus porn friendly XD.

  • ^ C'mon, you know you want to. ;)

    I guess you haven't followed the news then? They recently banned hentai. I was memeing about it on our discord.

    They also have some IP log laws in place.

    haha, not quite that quick :) i'd have to find a DC that I can get good pricing on and access to bandwidth. From there we could get things going pretty quick though.

    I had talked to a few hosts but only a few of them got me quotes.

    Bandwidth is pretty expensive in Japan. Could luck Fran!

    Probably.

    Would be cool to over Magic Transit there though :) I don't think there's a lot of DDOS protected servers in JP.
