Hi all, As you may have noticed, the NLNOG Looking Glass has been unavailable for a while. The reason for this is that we had to transfer the Looking Glass from a physical server hosted at XS4all to a virtual server provided by BIT. In the process, we had to replace the Bird looking glass backend with a new OpenBGPD setup. And since we were using a (modified) version of bird-lg as a webfrontend, we had to replace that as well with something that could talk to OpenBPGD. Eventually, we ended up writing our own LG frontend. As of this week, the looking glass is available again at https://lg.ring.nlnog.net. Since we’re running a new web front end, so some features have changed. And since we moved the backend to a new machine, the IP addresses changed as well (as Job already announced some time ago on the ring-users mailinglist). If you’re peering with the LG but haven’t done so, please change the IP addresses: %%% ACTION REQUIRED BEGINS %%% Related to AS 199036 (unchanged) Remove OLD sessions, configure NEW sessions. OLD: 82.94.230.130 (please remove) OLD: 2001:888:2001::130 (please remove) NEW: 212.114.120.72 (please send all IPv4 NLRIs) NEW: 2001:7b8:62b:1:0:d4ff:fe72:7848 (please send all IPv6 NLRIs) %%% ACTION REQUIRED ENDS %%% One of the new features of the LG is that it has some knowledge about communities used by various ASNs. You can see this if you’re looking up routes and see blue coloured community labels. When hovering over them, you can read more about what the community is used for. For now, this is mostly limited to some Tier 1 networks, but we’re happy to add information on your network if you can provide this. You can read more about how to provide this at https://github.com/NLNOG/lg.ring.nlnog.net (by creating a pull request), but feel free to send me a list of your communities (off-list!) as well. We’d like to thank XS4all for all those years of hosting the LG server and BIT for continuing this, and Job and the OpenBGPD developers for helping us build a looking glass server capable of handling the large amount of peers and routes we process: ~140 IPv4 and ~140 IPv6 peers, roughly 80M IPv4 routes and 14M IPv6 routes (and increasing) New peers are welcome. You can setup peering and add your details at https://github.com/NLNOG/ring-ansible/blob/master/roles/openbgpd/vars/peers.... (by creating a pull request), or contact ring-admins@nlnog.net. Feature requests, bug reports, etc on the new web frontend are welcome too. Either by opening an issue at https://github.com/NLNOG/lg.ring.nlnog.net or by contacting the RING Admins at ring-admins@nlnog.net. Thanks! Teun
