New blog post: Running your own Autonomous System on FreeBSD.

Got an AS number and IPv6 /48 via RIPE, set up a FreeBSD BGP router with FRR, two upstreams, and built GRE/GIF tunnels ti bring my own globally routable addresses to servers at different providers.

The interesting part: dual-FIB policy routing lets FreeBSD jails speak from both provider and BGP addresses simultaneously.

Running Your Own AS: BGP on FreeBSD with FRR, GRE Tunnels, and Policy Routing | Larvitz Blog

How I obtained my own AS number and IPv6 prefix, set up a FreeBSD BGP router with FRR, and built a tunnel overlay to bring globally routable addresses to servers that already have provider-assigned IPv6 - using dual-FIB policy routing to make both coexist.
