blueprints

Pre-Alpha. This page describes behavior that may change.

Blueprints are end-to-end worked examples. Each one covers a real deployment scenario with a topology, the full Ze configuration, the verification steps, and a list of the things to expect to go wrong the first time. They are not reference documentation; they are the page you read when you have decided what you want to build and you want a starting point that already works.

Pages

• Route server at an IXP. Run Ze as an IXP route server. Topology, peer config, route server policy, Looking Glass exposure, RPKI integration.
• Transit edge with RPKI. A transit-customer edge router with RPKI validation, BGP Role enforcement, and prefix limits.
• Public Looking Glass. Stand up a public Looking Glass for your AS, with TLS, a reverse proxy, and Alice-LG integration.
• ExaBGP Migration Walkthrough. A complete worked migration of a non-trivial ExaBGP setup, end to end.
• FlowSpec Injection. Inject BGP FlowSpec rules from a script for DDoS mitigation.
• Chaos-Tested Peering. Set up a peering session and verify it survives a battery of chaos scenarios.
• AS Path Topology. Use the Looking Glass topology graph to visualise a real network's AS paths.
