MBNOG Looking Glass 2.0

Wed, 14 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0000

We now have a shiny new BGP Looking Glass! MBNOG Looking Glass 2.0 was launched just today.

This new looking glass is based on the exact same one that NLNOG runs on the NLNOG Ring Looking Glass, which is using a brand new BGP Looking Glass API in OpenBSD 7.2 to pull live routing information without having to scrape.

Because OpenBSD’s looking glass is so “defacto” and supports really useful things like source-as and detail as, we are also making the backend OpenBSD looking glass available directly as well at lg2.mbnog.ca.

The Manitoba Network Operators Group is holding its second meeting, with an open invitation to all network operators and administrators.

We will present and discuss network operations, and look for feedback from our attendees.

Mailing List

Sat, 06 May 2017 00:00:00 +0000

We have launched a general purpose MBNOG discussion mailing list which you can subscribe to at lists.mbnog.ca.

If the general purpose discussion list becomes too noisy then a separate announcements list will be created at that point.

The archives are public, and available at MBNOG Archives

Our site is now live at www.mbnog.ca.

3 domains have been registered:

mbnog.ca and mbnog.org for website and organization needs
mbnog.net for network tools and operations
- lg.mbnog.net is an example of this

Sun, 19 Feb 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Our initial alpha form of the MBNOG Looking Glass was announced to the local network operator community via a post on the MBIX-tech mailing list.

This resulted in a couple more peers, and enough interest to continue on with this idea.

If you run a network with full or partial routes (more than default only) MBNOG wants to peer with you. More information is available on the Looking Glass page.

About Us

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

We are, at heart, an organization by network operators, for network operators.

The Manitoba Network Operators Group is an organization for networking and technology professionals in the Winnipeg and Manitoba area.

Our goal is to provide education for those looking to improve their skill set, learn about networking technologies, as well as to meet and build relationships with fellow professionals.

We host multiple small events throughout the year allowing attendees a comfortable, relaxed opportunity to learn, ask questions and network with others.

Stub Network Resources

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Abridged from Wikipedia:

A stub network is a somewhat casual term describing a computer network, with no knowledge of other networks, that will typically send much or all of its non-local traffic out via a single path, with the network aware only of a default route to non-local destinations.

We will refer to those BGP networks which use a default route only, or a default plus a selection of routes (perhaps from an IX). Networks which do not run in the default-free-zone (DFZ).

Transit Network Resources

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Being a transit operator comes with an inherent responsibility to not break your customers routing. Most often transit networks operate in the DFZ (Default-free-zone), although there are often exceptions to this in the research & education industry.

List of things to be written about

customer prefix filtering
using communities to control BGP advertisements
customer AS-path filtering
using route-maps to control prefix filtering, communities, and as-path filtering
peering in multiple locations
