An update on peering, transit, and etc...

31 Aug 2024

I believe I’m using a pretty standard PathVector config, but I keep running into issues.

  • HyeHost IPv6 Upstream can’t connect
  • No IPv6 routes work
  • Hurricane Electric IPv6 transit won’t work
  • Tritan IPv6 transit won’t work

I suspect it has something to do with my IRR. The current version of my IRR is below. It can be frustrating to troubleshoot something that takes time to propagate.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting these issues has taught me some helpful commands.

# BIRD
birdc show route all for 2620:fe::9
birdc show route all for 9.9.9.9

# Linux Kernel
ip -6 route get 2620:fe::9
ip route get 9.9.9.9

I plan on reading the following pages to help me better understand how all of this works.
