Dear Csaba and all,

Many thanks for the update! Congrats on the recent advances and keep on the good work. Keep in mind that you're the "cornerstone" of a large community now.... "With great power comes great responsibility"🙂

And it seems that freeRtr use will be further expanded with the "whiteboxing" trends you're reporting us.

Regards,

Assunto: Re: weekly full intecrop test runs against the cisco xr 7.10.1 from now are on c8000 virtual....

 

ok, and now, removed the local nren, and adding the remote nrens, univs, cern.ch,

renater, jisc, ufes/ifes, man.poznan, bt guys who all helped to be there, some of them

already owns/runs some shiny c8808s in physical, plus the project owner/leader from rare/freertr

team (fl) plus vlad from intel, my "personal/public" p4 instructor/teacher, just because we chitty-chatted

with (fl) this afternoon about it, and seemingly "everyone" in the industry _is_ interested about the

latest "independent" results officially or unofficially, and seriously, there is nothings wrong nor nothing

to be hidden on it, as its officially written @ cisco.com on several pages, was outta on twitter.jp, etc, etc,

and  the rumors were found to be _true_, moreover broadcom is doing the same with npland.org and tomahawk3+,

not to mention nvidia/intel/broadcom/who-not(?) and the smartnics / dpus / "accelerators/pre-filterers" / etc....


i personally continue adding foreign architectures to the dpdk forwarder as i have spare time to bring up the vms,

the intel/barefoot compiler farm for the nop-mchome profile will continue to evolve with fun things like

icmp/pim/l2tp-v3 tunnnelings in the next month, regarding the software features, be prepared to the latest

layer3 evpn is arriving and a who_was_ service arriving on the next week, like ripe/routeviews does, but from

an nren default free table, and in realtime on the web, that is, multicast/unicast/labelled/rib-in enriched

whois to the already in-beta http://www.nop.hu/ whats-myip whatsmy-aspath service.... fingers crossed... :)

br,

cs
