Great MPLS and BGP Lab
Oct 12th
I got this over at Networking-Forum.com, a member named Fred created it, he was even kind enough to provide the Visio diagram, IP scheme spreadsheet and, most importantly, the .net file for Dynagen/GNS3. I spent a lot of my Saturday working on this beast. I thought I should share it here as it is great practice for MPLS VPNs and BGP along with some OSPF, NAT, IPSEC and GRE exposure.

Internet
* The two Internet routers should serve as transit AS’s. No other routers should permit transit traffic.
* Internet sites (modeled by loopbacks) should be accessible by all lan IP’s.
PeerIX Project
Sep 16th
What is PeerIX:
PeerIX is a project a bunch of other nerds and I are working on. Most of us know each other from HardForum and/or Networking-Forum. The idea is to develop a functional “mini-internet” to learn and gain experience with enterprise and service provider technologies.
What are the requirements?
A network device that supports IPsec, GRE and BGP. Other routing protocols may be considered but will be “corner case” as the core will be eBGP.
What devices work?
Cisco routers
Vyatta
Currently most Cisco routers will work permitted that you are running an IOS that supports the core technologies above.
You can use the IOS feature navigator to verify if your IOS/device supports the required features.
What technologies are you talking about?
The sky is the limit here, but the main core technologies are IPSec, GRE and BGP. Right now we have limited things going on within this network but eventually the hope is to grow it much larger with more services.
