Hoi folks,

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 ?
In the mean time I also talked to Pim van Pelt (the friend mentioned above). He’d be willing to come to a future ZANOG if travel expenses can be covered (ZANOG covered my travel expenses this time, so it has been done before 🙂 and the timing works with his full-time job at Google. It’s amazing that he manages to do all this work next to having a full-time job in the first place! :D
By means of Introduction, I'm PBVP1-RIPE and live in Switzerland. In
my spare time I operate AS8298 which is a small ISP with presence in
some european cities. We're reasonably well connected [1] but it
also fully runs open source. I write about [2], and contribute to
[3], Vector Packet Processing that Sander mentioned at the zanog
social. I'm an active member of NLNOG (my home country) and SWINOG
(my home since 2006). I'll use Sander to help me navigate the
program committee for an upcoming meeting, and see if I can offer
some interesting content about open source dataplanes and contribute
some stories about my little European ISP.
groet,
Pim
