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, it employs common networking protocols (such as BGP, DNS, WHOIS) to reproduce an Internet-like network.
Most network links are configured using VPN tunnels (WireGuard) 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
Auto-peering self-service - IPv6 only
You can request a peering session with the nodes below via SSH on port 4242 (provided that your mntner object in the dn42 registry contains at least one auth attribute with a ssh public key of type ssh-ed25519 or ssh-rsa).
In the following commands, replace <mntner> by your maintainer object name, lowercase, without the -MNT suffix.
| Nodes | SSH command |
|---|---|
nl-ams2.flap42.eu | ssh <mntner>@nl-ams2.flap42.eu -p 4242 |
fr-par1.flap42.eu | ssh <mntner>@fr-par1.flap42.eu -p 4242 |
pl-war1.flap42.eu | ssh <mntner>@pl-war1.flap42.eu -p 4242 |
$ ssh hcartiaux@nl-ams2.flap42.eu -p 4242
