Overcoming a Routing Challenge

6 Mar 2025

At our organization, we’ve been facing an issue with our FreeBSD Router running BIRD. Fortunately, our link to SIX has brought this problem to our attention. The router has been handling internal and external traffic without a hitch, but we’ve encountered an issue when the router itself needs to access the internet. In these situations, it’s using the wrong IP, resulting in increased latency.

We are actively working on a solution to rectify this problem, but we’re eager to hear from experts in the field who may have encountered similar issues. If you’re familiar with FreeBSD Router and BIRD, and think you can offer some valuable advice, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected].

As a precautionary measure, we’ve temporarily disabled our link to SIX to prevent any potential issues from affecting other networks. We appreciate the feedback from SIX that helped us identify this problem, and we look forward to resolving it soon. Your input and expertise would be invaluable in helping us find a solution.
