dn42 Show and Tell

Let us know the most creative, best, strangest, complex, wierd or just plain fun setups that you've created with dn42.

Document your mad setups in the categories below, with links to a full write up, photos and screenshots welcome.

Things peered in to dn42

  • Fun devices peered in to dn42,
  • Or fun ways to connect them
  • The thing must be running BGP and connected in to dn42 as a full dynamic peer

Examples:

  • Fun with virtualisation
    • peer in to dn42 from your browser
    • Emulate some old bgp capable hardware
  • Fun with hardware
    • obsolete routers you still have in your garage/loft/basement
    • shiny new hardware that you need to 'test' for work
  • Fun with networks
    • fast networks (100G+), slow networks (UART), strange networks (IP over dns/usb/etc)
    • Wired: Token Ring/X.25/ATM/ISDN etc (encapsulation allowed, but bonus points for real physical networks)
    • Wireless: dn42 via microwave/laser/satellite

Things attached to dn42

  • The thing must be pingable from dn42
  • Bonus points if you can access the wiki from it
  • Double bonus, the device was able to add or edit its own entry on this page
  • Static routing, protocol encapsulation and virtualisation allowed

Examples:

  • Fun with virtualisation
    • connect using an obscure or obsolete operating system
  • Fun with hardware
    • Microprocessors (ESP32, Arduino, Pico etc) or FPGAs

  • Hardware Random Number Generator by Kioubit
  • A raspberry pi was connected to a random number source and random bytes offered via dn42. The raspberry pi is running a custom server to take requests via a simple HTTPS API and interface with the device.
