What’s Flip Flap Network

AS4242420263, aka Flip Flap Network, is my own experimental network on Dn42. Dn42 is a decentralized network, mainly used as a testbed, which employs Internet technologies (such as BGP). Most network links are configured using VPN tunnels over the Internet, as such, Dn42 is an overlay network.

Peering policy

Flip Flap Network is open to all peering requests. Each peering systematically uses:

  • Wireguard for establishing the peering link
  • Link-local IPv6 on each peering link
  • Multiprotocol BGP over IPv6
  • Extended next hop over IPv6

Contact me at hyacinthe.cartiaux@gmail.com, with the following information:

  • AS number
  • Wireguard public key
  • IPv6 endpoint address
  • IPv6 endpoint port
  • link-local IPv6 address

For more technical guidance, you can follow my guide in 5 parts here.
