I recently setup IPv6 first-hop redundancy in my colocated environment using MikroTik and VRRP. It didn't work the same way I'd come to expect from using it in IPv4 environments and I set out to figure out why.
DDoS attacks continue to be a wide-spread problem on the internet. Their size has grown over the past few years to where BGP Blackholing to reduce collateral damage has become widespread.
One of the things I noticed when I received a 32-bit ASN was that I was unable to use my ASN in my BGP communities. I’m not the only one who has noticed this, and work has begun on a Draft Standard, Large BGP Community to address this shortcoming.
