Project 1

Testing BGP and VPN solutions

In this design project, I'm going to test and document various hardware and software solutions for BGP and VPN (plus generic routing and firewalling). This should begin with learning more about the requirements involves, such as studying BGP. Next, I'll compare the implementations on-paper to rule out any non-options. Finally, I'll test any remaining options for ease of use and compatibility, documenting the results to help me make a decision on final hardware and software. This should not be a deep-dive into option, optimally ruling out options on paper as early possible and testing only the basic capabilities to ensure there aren't any strange quirks.

The end result of this design project should include tabled comparisons of various options, plus information about how well these options might work with the rest of the DN42 network (ensuring maximum compatibility). The initial documentation need not be deeply technical, that will come later.
