Network automation has been a significant topic in the Interconnection industry since the beginning of my career. We've been dedicated to this area for years, and there's still a substantial amount of work ahead. This field has also fostered a large and active community. We are currently meeting for the third time to exchange ideas, discuss concepts, and share software and products. @scottrobohn just kicked off the event, #autocon3. #decix
#DECIX
Missed the live session? No worries!
Watch the full recording of "BGP in 100 minutes + BGP.Tools" with Wolfgang Tremmel (DE-CIX) and Ben Cartwright-Cox (bgp.tools). Whether you're a network pro or just curious, this session offers hands-on examples and expert insights into BGP and internet routing.
Tune in now and boost your #BGP knowledge! 🤓

Big news from @decix Frankfurt! We've successfully upgraded our core routers to new @Nokia SR2SE tech for enhanced performance. Amazingly, this major project (Feb-May) was led by our talented junior employees & had zero customer impact. Proud of the team! #DECIX #Networking #Upgrade
Kicking off #RIPE90 right now with the “BGP in 100 minutes + BGP.Tools” tutorial by @wtremmel from #DECIX and @benjojo from bgp.tools! 🚀
Diving into #BGP fundamentals and exploring handy tools to make routing smoother.
@varbin @f4grx @nixCraft @torproject Well, you can dynamically block them based off packet rate & amount of requests and rate-limit them as well as limit them in terms of transfer rate.
- Also #DDoS-Protection is something any decent #datacenter & #hoster offers (don't use value-removing middlemen like #CloudFlare as they are a #RogueISP who ain't even goox at their job!)
Not to mention you rarely see DDoS attacks from residential IPs and ISPs are quick to disconnect offending hosts upon reporting them, so worst-case one blocks a /24 for 24 hours.
- This doesn't even account for the fact that #Skiddie-Tools like #LOIC are easily dstinguishable and filter for.
Again: if this is a real problem, any decent datacenter / hoster / upstream will gladly pick up the phone or reply to your support request via mail.
- After all, they too don't like it when someone hammers their infrastructure, so they have a vested interest in #Blackholing bad traffic at the #IX level.
#DECIX even officially recommends that as a means to handle large-scale DDoS attacks and keep everyone else online.
- To me a "#Layer7" solution like #Anubis comes way too late as it already incurs billable traffic at many hosters and datacenters and we don't want to cough up money because of someone else trying to #blackmail us (which is the #1 reason for DDoS'ers to do so!)…
For those wondering how to pronounce #DECIX, here’s the scoop:
❌ “dee-siks” – Oops! Looks like even AI got a little lost in translation.
✅ “dee-kicks” 🦵 – That’s the one!
We’re all still learning, and AI is no exception—but now you’ve got it right! 🤓
What do I actually do as an Interconnection Community and Academy Manager? 🤔

👀 See you there!
What an amazing week filled with new faces and fascinating discussions! 🌸
Hetzner has 2800 Gb/s peering capacity at DE-CIX Frankfurt while also having 2400 Gb/s private peering (PNI) with Meta in Frankfurt. From https://www.hetzner.com/unternehmen/rechenzentrum/
Still thinking what're the usual suspects in terms of traffic between Hetzner and Meta.

✅ In #Mainz entsteht ein nachhaltiges #Rechenzentrum: Betrieben mit #Ökostrom, gekühlt mit #Rheinwasser und mit 54 Megawatt #Abwärme für das #Fernwärmenetz.
Das Großprojekt auf der Ingelheimer Aue bietet Platz für #Hochleistungsrechner und könnte Unternehmen weltweit anziehen.
Die Nähe zum Frankfurter Internetknoten #DECIX macht den Standort besonders attraktiv.🌱💻
@snow Maybe consider a provider that allows you to do #Blackholing?
#Contabo for example allows to book a dedicaded, managed #pfSense #Firewall woth their #dedicaded #Servers so you can just block entire ASNs aggressively.
- In my experience, blocking entire ASNs like #pfCloud, #CloudFlare, #DDoSguard, #aws and entire countries like Russia has been effective.
🌹 Happy Valentine's Day! 🌹
