Hoi Babel Users,

AS8298 has a ring from Zurich, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Lille, Paris and Geneva. Our links are carrier ethernet from a telco. Sometimes, when the underlying links fail, the underlay MPLS network will recover and route around the failed telco link, and I'll see latency on my own service go from say 6ms ZRH-FRA to 40ms ZRH-FRA; I thought this would be an excellent use case for Babel.
I wanted to let you know that I have presented on Babel with VPP at a few venues in the European NOG scene this Summer and Autumn. I was at NONOG, ITNOG, FRNOG, (missed NLNOG due to COVID) and ESNOG. I put out the message that Babel works very well with Bird2 and IPv6 next hops for IPv4, as we discussed back in March.

I know publications are important for the research angle of the Babel project. In case it benefits you -
- ESNOG https://video.ipng.ch/w/i4ibtvEkUmEE39mkCNeDzQ
- ITNOG https://video.ipng.ch/w/bB5MnKTN55wBkS8N3DyQhV
- FRNOG https://video.ipng.ch/w/9A9Zg83PXpunnBvncWYQHL
- NONOG https://video.ipng.ch/w/tYHS4LXoGSpTWuJ3T3tipC
- DENOG (to be published in November)
- Slides: go.ipng.ch/esnog32 go.ipng.ch/nlnog2024 go.ipng.ch/nonog6

I do realize that AS8298 ended up choosing OSPFv3, but I wanted to thank you for the support and encouragement you've given as I was preparing the changes for VPP to be able to support Babel with IPv4 and IPv6 next hops So if it ever comes up: VPP works perfectly well with Bird2's babel implementation.

Respectfully and with groet,
Pim
