Peering with burble.dn42
===

This page provides the information to get started on peering with the burble.dn42 network.  
burble.dn42 is a set of global POPs integrated to the [dn42](https://dn42.us/) network, and
new peering requests are welcome, whether you are a new starter or already have an established
network. A description of the network is available in the [about](/about) page.

####Peering Requests

Please mail **dn42@burble.com** if you'd like to peer with me.

By default, I'll configure a full transit connection with you which could mean I end up routing
traffic over your network, but just let me know if you'd prefer a different peering arrangment.

At a minimum, I'll need to know the following in order to establish a peering:

* The burble.dn42 node you would like to peer with
* Your ASN
* The public address of your host
* The tunnel parameters, e.g.
  * Port number, if using wireguard or OpenVPN
  * Public key for wireguard
  * Any special config you need that is different to my defaults
* IP addresses of your end of the tunnel
  * Typically these will be a single IPv4/32 and IPv6/128 from your DN42 allocation

#### Residential ISPs and Dynamic IP addresses

A 24/7 connection, with static IP addresses are the norm for DN42, and by default I will add
firewall rules to limit tunnel traffic to your specific IP address. If you are connecting from a
residential ISP or otherwise have a dynamic IP please let me know so that I can configure my side
appropriately. If you don't do tell me, the peering will stop working when your IP address changes.

#### Supported Tunnel Types

I prefer to use [wireguard](https://wireguard.io/), it's simple to set up and just works.
I also support OpenVPN tunnels. 

* **[Wireguard](https://wireguard.io/)**

   I use a random port number and unique key for each Wireguard peer, so mail me to confirm
   the port number and public key.  
   Endpoint names and IP addresses are detailed below.
   
   My wireguard AllowedIPs are:
   ```
AllowedIPs=fe80::/64
AllowedIPs=fd00::/8
AllowedIPs=0.0.0.0/0
   ```

   Note that wg-quick does not support adding a peer address. If you want to use wg-quick you will
   need to delete and re-add the wireguard interface IP address and configure it as a point to point
   address or you will run in to next-hop problems when using BGP. See the
   [DN42 Wiki](https://dn42.dev/howto/wireguard) on how to use iproute2 to configure a point to point
   address.
  
* **[OpenVPN](https://openvpn.net/)**

  By default I will configure the following OpenVPN parameters, with a random OpenVPN port number
  and shared key.

  ```
comp-lzo
cipher aes-256-cbc
auth sha256
  ```

####Allowed Traffic

Only the network ranges will be forwarded through the DN42 network, all other traffic will be dropped. 

**IPv4**
```
172.16.0.0/12
10.0.0.0/8
```

**IPv6**
```
fd00::/8
```

BGP peer addresses are more permissive to allow for link local or non-DN42 IP addresses within the
tunnel, but these will not be forwarded through the DN42 network.

#### BGP Configuration

|||
|---|---|
|**Network Name** |BURBLE|
|**BURBLE-MNT**|dn42@burble.com|
|**ASN**|AS4242422601|
 

The burble.dn42 network uses [bird 2](https://bird.network.cz/?get_doc&f=bird.html&v=20), and the
following features are supported:

* Multiprotocol BGP [RFC 4760](https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc4760)
* BGP Large Communities [RFC 8092](http://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8092)
* BGP Confederations [RFC 5065](https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc5065)
* DN42 Route Origin Authorisation (ROA - see below section on Route Filtering) 
* DN42 [BGP communities](https://wiki.dn42.us/howto/Bird-communities)
* burble.dn42 custom [large communities](/home/bgp-communities)
* burble.dn42 [Routing Policy](/home/routing-policy)

**Route Filtering**

Incoming routes are filtered according the rules in the dn42 registry (data/filter.txt and
data/filter6.txt).

Additionally Route Origin Authorisation (ROA) is implemented with updates through RPKI,
using [dn42regsrv](https://git.dn42.us/burble/dn42regsrv) and
[gortr](https://github.com/cloudflare/gortr). This means any advertised prefix that does
not have a corresponding route{,6} object in the DN42 registry will be dropped.

The DN42 ROA data is provided as a public service, see the [Services](/home/burble-dn42-services) page.

Generic Allowed Prefixes:

IPv4
```
172.20.0.0/14{21,29}, # dn42
172.20.0.0/24{28,32}, # dn42 Anycast
172.21.0.0/24{28,32}, # dn42 Anycast
172.22.0.0/24{28,32}, # dn42 Anycast
172.23.0.0/24{28,32}, # dn42 Anycast
172.31.0.0/16+,       # ChaosVPN
10.100.0.0/14+,       # ChaosVPN
10.0.0.0/8{15,24}     # Freifunk.net
```

IPv6
```
fd00::/8{44,64}
```

**Peering with Multiple Nodes**

Users are welcome to peer with more than one node in the burble.dn42 network to provide
additional redundancy and route choice. It's highly recommended to peer with multiple users DN42
users though, it's lots of fun and you should never rely on just one user for your connectivity.

#### Testing

Within the tunnel, hosts respond to ping and traceroute, but also have the echo (port 7) and
daytime (port 13) services enabled. These can be used to check the tunnel is up and configured
correctly.

```
$ ping fe80::42:2601:32:1%wg0
PING fe80::42:2601:32:1%wg0(fe80::42:2601:32:1%wg0) 56 data bytes

$
```

Once peering is established I have a BGP looking glass [here](https://lg.burble.com/) (public
internet link) and global route [collector](https://collector.burble.com) which can be used to
check routing. The looking glass is a key resource for you to use when understanding how your
routes are propogating around the DN42 network. 

#### Automated reachability and latency testing

pingable.burble.dn42 (172.20.129.5 / fd42:4242:2601:ac05::1) is a dedicated address
that responds to ping and traceroute and may be used for automated reachability or
link quality testing.

Please be considerate when configuring automated tests and set a reasonable test frequency.
In all cases, the frequency must not be more than once a second. Please consider this if your
router automatically pings its tunnel endpoint for stats purposes.
