#IPv6 implementation by varying “experts” across the globe often leads to failures like this one:

Ever wondered what it’s like to bring physical IP transit directly to your home over #MPLS? I pulled it off — twice — in India.

#BGP, #IXP, fibre runs, barter deals, and plenty of Layer 8 chaos. Blog post up now👇

Think native IPv6 in Docker is rocket science? 🚀 It’s not.

Set up routed IPv6 with Docker Compose—no NAT66, no bridging, just pure Layer 3 connectivity via routing.

Helped fix a network mess at a non-profit where “certified experts” left behind broken #IPv6, triple #NAT, and the wrong hardware. Might not have been incompetence—might’ve been intentional.

Always nice to see, how my work has positively helped both network business owners and network engineers across the world.

#IPv6 and #BGP FTW!

Yet another post about #CGNAT - because the #internet still hasn’t learnt. It’s 2025, and we’re still patching #IPv4 with CGNAT instead of embracing #routing with #IPv6.

Nice to see that my IPv6 Architecture guide has been helpful enough to inspire ISPs in the USA to adopt BCOP-690—especially with a static /48 prefix delegation for residential customers to boot!

#NetworkEngineering #NetEng #IPv6

A couple of years into the telecom/NetEng industry and I'm deploying networks the way I envisioned them, across the globe, from my eBGP-speciality for SP networks on a budget, to intricate and scalable OOB networks to hybrid enterprise networks with intelligent BUM forwarding.
…

I have officially shut down #AS149794’s operations in #BLR. This includes terminating services with #ExtremeIX and my transit provider, deactivating the #BGP session.

I’m exploring opportunities to secure physical IP transit from alternative ISPs in the future.

#IXP #Routing

Question for #IXP operators - do you establish #iBGP adjacency between two route servers? Why/Why not?

#BGP #Routing

What's the industry adoption rate like, for RFC9663? Any real-life deployment data?

Yeah I said TCAM in my post but later I referred to it as RAM because nobody knows what TCAM is. Arista's large table solution (algomatch???) uses RAM. You are right most routers *sold* today support tables above 1M but if you look around an Equinix colo you will find that they dont replace stuff.

Looks like my (free) 10Gbps IP Transit+transport in #BLR, is coming to an end, soon-ish, it's been a fun journey, but all things (free) must come to an end eventually!
