A log of changes to the burble.dn42 network.
27th March 2021
Fixed a bug in bird that was preventing MRT dumps from the collector working. Hopefully the dumps can now be successfully parsed: https://mrt.collector.dn42
25th March 2021
Bird 2.0.8 has been deployed across the network. Please let me know if you see problems.
burble.dn42 uses a custom bird build that includes additional debugging. The source code for the build is available on git.burble.dn42.

Updated IPv6 address for hk-hkg1
10th January 2021
Upgraded the looking glass to use bird-lg-go.
The main benefit of the go version is that it executes queries in parallel, greatly improving response times with a large number of nodes.
6th January 2021
hk-hkg1 is now open for IPv4 peering; see the node information for details.
IPv6 connectivity is expected ~February.
4th January 2021
Happy New Year DN42.
New Website
The new year brings a new website for burble.dn42 built using Hugo and statically delivered from each core node for speed. As always, the source for the website is available in the gitea repo.
Anycast MTU
The MTU for anycast services has been reduced to 1280 after a problem was seen with IPv6 path MTU discovery.
The problem was due to an asymmetric path, where a request to the wiki went to one node but the return path was via a different node. The other node also hosted a wiki instance, which meant that pmtud ICMP messages on the return path were being picked up by the wrong node. To fix this, the MTU has been clamped to the minimum allowable size of 1280.
Interestingly, Cloudflare also recognised the same type of issue and wrote up what they did in their blog.
The following services were impacted by the changes.
- DNS Services
- NGINX Reverse Proxy (and therefore also all websites, including the Wiki mirrors)
- WHOIS Service
New Nodes
es-mad1 in Madrid, Spain has already been delivered and is now open for peerings.
The new node in Hong Kong, hk-hkg1 has also been delivered and I'm now just waiting for IPv6 to be available before it too will also be ready for peering.
