Letzte Chance (für mich): Hat jemand aus der #PV #Solar Bubble Erfahrungen mit #enpal ? Neben den eher nassforschen Drückermethoden zu Beginn der Anwerbung überzeugt mich das ganze drumherum um das #VPP etc. schon und ich würde gerne abschliessen. Gerne Retrööt

I was also allowed to bring a small contribution to the FOSDEM network devroom this year - about the recently committed sFlow plugin in VPP.

I shared Neil and my work in talk 3 of 4 on the top ic of #vpp at #fosdem in Brussels, Belgium.

Next up at FOSDEM in the Network Devroo is Nathan Skrzypczak of Cisco, showing the super cool loadbalancing plugin in a talk entitled 'Levitation made handy: roll your own Maglev LB with VPP!'.

This is #vpp talk 2/4 today in the #fosdem conference in Brussels, Belgium.

This next one is very close to home for me - Federico Iezzi of Google and Mohammed Hawari of Cisco, co-present the underlying details of Unleashing 100 Mpps with FD.io VPP on GCP.

Marrying DPDK and VPP with Google's Andromeda network stack and its Titanium (aka E2000) network cards: magic.

This is #vpp talk 1 of 4 at #fosdem in Brussels, Belgium.

This morning, before FOSDEM started, a group of VPP developers and practitioners met at a local bakery for breakfast. Thank you to this wonderful group of people for going the extra mile and meeting!

"New home design might be key to limiting winter power outages" [2:50 min]

Power outages related to winter weather are happening twice as often as they did decades ago. It's partly because storms are becoming more intense, but also because of an aging power grid. One solution: Designing homes that can power not only themselves, but their communities."

Answering for AS8298 - we have about 2050 adjacencies across 25 IXPs. At DE-CIX Frankfurt and NLIX, there are several thousand L2 adjacencies (in L2FIB) and several hundred BGP adjacencies.

AS8298 has just short of 16M routes in the RIB and 1.2M in the FIB - screenshot attached.

"Virtual Power Plant: Aggregating Small Generators #virtualpowerplant" [ < 1min]

Quote by mmh:
"May 7", 2024
Virtual power plant is a system that aggregates various small electricity sources typically selling its electricity output to an electric utility.
A virtual power plant is like an orchestra conductor coordinating multiple small musical groups instead of a single large orchestra.
Just as a conductor brings together different instruments to create harmonious music, a virtual power plant manages and synchronizes various small-scale energy resources (such as solar panels and battery storage systems) spread across different locations.
By orchestrating these distributed energy sources, a virtual power plant can provide reliable and cost-effective electricity to the grid, just as a skilled conductor can produce a beautiful symphony from individual musicians."

Look what I found! :) #VPP sflow output picked up by ntopng. Cool!

I will be keeping promises I made at DENOG'14 in 2022: that with #VPP, I would demonstrate forwarding 1Tbps and 1Gpps using a single machine.

Tuesday at 14:30 I will present this together with a project to reduce IPv4/IPv6 in the backbone to 1-per-router at #denog16.

If you're in Berlin, come see me at a break or tonight's social. I'd love to hang out :)

Look! 1.11Tbps =) #vpp

Continued work on an sFlow plugin for #VPP, today Neil and I uploaded our current state (well, mostly his code but I'm pretty good at fighting the checkstyle/fixstyle bot!)

I've written an update that shows our journey in performance for the plugin here:

Including a sneak preview of a working sflow-tool screenshot :)

What a Tesla Powerwall virtual power plant event looks like from the inside. During a 2-hour demand response event last night in California, our batteries automatically pumped 11 kWh onto the grid. 5,018 homes participated, collectively sending 30.8 MW when I checked. Batteries are now recharging off solar.

The fun this weekend - my first 25/100G Switch to configure for our network.

Should be a nice project, then the next step will be new cards into the #VPP machines and see how far we can still push them.
