Load balancing with BGP is not possible in a multihomed environment with two ISPs. BGP selects only the single best path to a destination among the BGP paths that are learned from different ASs, which makes load balancing impossible. However, load sharing is possible in such multihomed BGP networks. To Read more…
A container management platform is a solution used to o create cloud-native, distributed applications and package legacy applications that were not originally designed for virtual environments. Container management software simplifies the process of adding or replacing containers when the need arises and facilitates the organization of large numbers of containers, Read more…
DMVPN provides the capability for creating a dynamic-mesh VPN network without having to pre-configure (static) all possible tunnel end-point peers, including IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) and ISAKMP (Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol) peers. DMVPN is initially configured to build out a hub-and-spoke network by statically configuring the hubs Read more…
MySQL Galera Cluster is a synchronous multi-master cluster, available on Linux only, and only supports the XtraDB/InnoDB storage engines . It is designed to provide high availability and high throughput with low latency, while allowing for near linear scalability. MySQL Cluster is implemented through the NDB or NDBCLUSTER storage engine Read more…
Docker is a software technology providing containers. Docker provides an additional layer of abstraction and automation of operating-system-level virtualization on Windows and Linux. Docker uses the resource isolation features of the Linux kernel such as cgroups and kernel namespaces, and a union-capable file system such as OverlayFS and others to Read more…
Layer 2 VPNs are a type of Virtual Private Network (VPN) that uses MPLS labels to transport data. The communication occurs between routers that are known as Provider Edge routers (PEs), as they sit on the edge of the provider's network, next to the customer's network. Internet providers who have Read more…
A virtual private network (VPN) extends a private network across a public network, and enables users to send and receive data as if their computers were directly connected to the private network. A site-to-site VPN allows offices in multiple fixed locations to establish secure connections with each other over a Read more…
Like any other operating system, GNU/Linux has implemented a memory management efficiently and even more than that. But if any process is eating away your memory and you want to clear it, Linux provides a way to flush or clear ram cache. Use the commands below to clear PageCache, dentries Read more…
The MPLS VPN L3VPN over GRE feature provides a mechanism for tunneling Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) packets over non-MPLS networks. This feature allows you to create a generic routing encapsulation (GRE) tunnel across a non-MPLS network. The MPLS packets are encapsulated within the GRE tunnel packets, and the encapsulated packets Read more…
Normally, routes are propagated regardless of the existence of a different path. The BGP conditional advertisement feature uses the non-exist-map and the advertise-map keywords of the neighbor advertise-map command in order to track routes by the route prefix. If a route prefix is not present in output of the non-exist-map Read more…
