Hi list,
During the pub session after Zanog2024/iWeek, Sander mentioned his friend that did a Linux router using VPP, so I asked him more information about it, and he responded below. Anybody else that is/have tested similar and could share advice on locally (ie. South African) sourceable parts ?

Hi!
The hardware list is in this blog post: https://ipng.ch/s/articles/2021/09/21/vpp-7.html
But do look at his full collection of posts: https://ipng.ch/s/articles/
There is really good stuff in there!
Cheers,
Sander

Good day Sander,
You mentioned this 1U switch/router that somebody did, and I’m interested in the bill of materials, ie. which 1U server/chassis, which SPF+ adapters etc. as I need to cost/price it (especially w.r.t. Watts power consumed per port).
Any pointers where to source those would also be appreciated!

Hello All,
You are invited to the webinar Building Resilient Networks – What You Need to Know About Deploying an ICANN Managed Root Server (IMRS) Single in Africa. Join us on Thursday, 4 April 2024 at 12:00 UTC.
Register today.<https://icann.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_9i7q5VFPQWOAnu6C3jrLaw#/registrat…>
This webinar will cover everything you need to know about IMRS Singles, including the call for expressions of interest<https://coalitionfordigitalafrica.africa/news/phase_2_officially_opens_expa…> for Africa-based organizations interested in hosting their own.
By hosting an IMRS Single, organizations can potentially enhance network performance, contribute to the robustness of the Domain Name System (DNS), decrease DNS query response times, and reduce bandwidth usage for root-zone queries.
Join us live to have the chance to have your questions personally answered by ICANN’s during the Q&A session.
The webinar will be in English with French interpretation available via phone. Participants wishing to listen and speak in French should share their contact numbers so that an operator can dial out to them.
We hope to see you there!
