In my spare time, what little I have, I’ve been wanting to play with some OSS networking projects. For those playing along at home, during last Suse hackweek I played with wireguard, and to test the environment I wanted to set up some routing. For which I used FRR. FRR…
If you read my last post, I set up a POC with wireguard and FRR to have to power of wireguard (WG) but all the routing worked out with FRR. But I had a problem. When using RIPv2, the broadcast messages seemed to get stuck in the WG interfaces until…
It’s hackweek at Suse! Probably one of my favourite times of year, though I think they come up every 9 months or so. Anyway, this hackweek I’ve been on a WireGuard journey. I started reading the paper and all the docs. Briefly looking into the code, sitting in the IRC…
Welcome to the final post in the series, it has been a long time coming. If required/requested I’m happy to delve into any of these topics deeper, but I’ll attempt to explain the situation, the best approach to take and how I got a POC working, which I am calling…
Last week was SUSE Hackweek. A week every employee is given to go have fun hacking something or learning something they find interesting. It’s an awesome annual event that SUSE runs. It’s my second and I love it. While being snowed in in Dublin at the Dublin PTG a while…
This is the second post in my series of posts on Swift in a Keystone federated environment, and the first post where I’ll walk through the first environment. The environment I’m calling ‘False Federation’. For details on these series of posts including the rationalisation see my last introductory post. …
Matt Treinish and I proposed a presentation at the OpenStack Summit in Vancouver in May, it was accepted but on standby. Which simply means we have a lightening talk slot (10 minutes), but may be bumped up to a full slot based on how other presenters go (visa issues, pull…
I’m a big fan on console apps. But for IRC, I have been using quassel, as it gives me a client on my phone. But I’ve been cleaning up my cloud accounts, and thought of the good old days when you’d simply run a console IRC client in screen or…
I use IRC in my day to day job. I am a professional open source developer, so what else would I use. For the last few years I have been using quassel, the core component sitting on a cloudserver, which allows me to have clients running on my phone, laptop,…
The latest POC is at the benchmarking stage, and in the most part it’s going well. I have set up 2 clusters in the cloud, not huge, but 2 proxies and 4 storage nodes each. A benchmarking run involves pointing an ssbench master at each cluster and putting each cluster…
