from my almost-entirely uneducated perspective, the environment you've described seems incredibly bodged-together for "generic moving money around bank" poo poo


like is this some startup whose gimmick is "we're spending x% less on IT than the competition because we're always near or at max hardware utilization" hence the criticality of "we can't do routing because that would eat a CPU cycle and every cycle not spent on 'moving money' costs us money"?

a) not my design - im just the QA guy - im supposed to be making sure the design and technology works even when its stupid

b) finance companies are run by finance people who measure things financially and put financiers in charge of everything including IT. %utilization of an expensive asset is trivial to measure and there is generations of pressure to run them at 100% because otherwise youre “wasting money.” these are the people who until the past 5 years said poo poo like ”if you are not paging you bought too much memory.”

ospf on servers is fine as long as the configs on the switch side are suitably defensive in case of misconfiguration. stick the servers in a stub area and put route maps on the interfaces for which prefixes the server is allowed to advertise. might be more config but multipathing is much nicer at layer 3 than layer 2 (m)lag

lagg/teaming/bonding is great for physical availability and load balancing within the context of a single layer2 broadcast domain.

multipathing at layer3 is great on top of that for when you need to be worried about spanning tree loops taking down a whole L2 due to misconfigured bonds and bridges, for handling core router outages and maintenance, and also for magically handling relocation of virtual machines when your network cant do VXLAN because the BISO read an article on the jet that said it was a security vulnerability or some other bs

its easier. setting up ospf is you just turn it on and put everything in area 0.

i dunno never done ibgp


the “put it all in area 0” guy is right as long as you get that thats a joke. the network people own area 0 and the routers between that and your stubby area. they give you a stubby area 5 that you put all your crap in and then yea it works great.

stubby just means your area only talks to itself and the routers the network team connects your junk to, your stubby area does not provide transit routing to other areas adjacent to or behind it.

can ospf do anycast?

my main use case for ibgp at the server is ha dns and such

12 rats tied together

i don't see why not. you would want to make sure that you dont accidentally install ECMP routes to anycast destinations and end up 50/50ing your traffic to 2 random nodes, but i'd be really surprised if there wasn't a config param on your routers for that

no idea, never tried that!

you could try adding the same vipa dns service address to all the dns servers and let ospf select the closest one with a viable path. that may get you where you wanna be. youll have the same ip reachable on (dns hosts * interfaces per host ) paths in the ospf routing tables

its chatty though by default - thats part of why it converges fast. youll maybe want to tune the link advertisement intervals if your environment is heavily virtualized and a hundred ospf daemons talking to each other on one core is gonna be too much.

Bruno_me

whoa
yea ospf can do anycast, you don't even need a routing protocol at all- you just have the same route in multiple places and/or destined to multiple places, no reason they can't be static or whtaever, routing protocols just enable better fault tolerance

blurring the lines between systems and networks is good fun and imo that setup is sane enough (although I work in telecom) but you'll spend the rest of your life teaching every new hire the realities of ip routing

abigserve
Sep 13, 2009

this is a better avatar than what I had before
I setup an anycast setup for a print service once, we had servers in every state and routing took you to the closest one.

The servers had a normal NIC and a loopback interface, we used a static route to point to the loopback interface and redistributed it into ospf in each state. Routing always took you to the closest one. It worked really well with the only downside being if a print server had a system issue like the service had crashed there's no fault tolerance. If the server itself went down the static route would be removed so that was fine for maintenance etc.

ospf is the normal routing protocol. ibgp and is-is are the kubernetes cringe of the networking world

is-is is maybe closer to solaris in that if you are running it you're probably a Knower and are using it to solve a problem that actually exists instead of a fake problem like kubernetes

kubernetes is good tho

at least until all the vendors in the "cloud native" space get ahold of it and try to make it "easier" for people that use it but refuse to learn any of the configuration

don't want to understand what a Deployment is? dont worry, we've got a lovely abstraction layer over top that somehow ends up being more complex and won't let you fix poo poo when our hardcoded automation makes bad decisions

vendors like this exist to tell upper management they can fire the devops dude who makes 280k and doesn’t pay attention in meetings and replace him with a portal. no director can resist such a siren song.

kubernetes is real, real bad actually. it was designed on the assumption that you could use etcd to provide every kubelet and every kube-proxy and every controller in the cluster with a globally consistent view of cluster state. as anyone who has actually scaled a distributed system before would have guessed, this lasted for about five seconds after hitting a real use case and has only gotten worse since. a "properly" functioning production kube cluster is nothing more or less than an enormous pile of poo poo covered in monkeys, and all of the monkeys are constantly grabbing handfuls of poo poo to fling at each other and to different places on the pile. you see all these monkeys being extremely busy and get impressed by how much is going on, but in the end its still monkeys flinging poo poo and you hope occasionally a splat lands in the right spot to make something happen

theres no way to use it right. kubernetes is broken by design, based on the assumption that latency could be kept low enough that building the entire thing out of race conditions would be fine in practice. but! latency could not be kept low enough. who could have foreseen this
