It's advised to\nprefix-filter announcements from external peers - see the \"Distributed config\" section for\nhow to do that.\n\n### Distributed config\n\nUse the `vnconfigsign` tool to sign your distributed configuration in JSON format and produce a\n`.bin`. Then start any one node with the `-initial-dc your_signed_config.bin` option to sync\nthe configuration with the rest of your network. As long as any single node on your network\nis alive with a latest version of the distributed configuration, all directly/indirectly\nconnected nodes will eventually be in sync.\n\nThe JSON format distributed config should look like:\n\n```json\n{\n\t\"prefix_whitelist\": {\n\t\t\"a.vnet.example.com\": [\n\t\t\t\"2001:db8:1000::/48,max_prefix_len=64\",\n\t\t\t\"64:ff9b::/96,max_prefix_len=96\"\n\t\t],\n\t\t\"b.vnet.example.com\": [\n\t\t\t\"2001:db8:2000::/48\"\n\t\t]\n\t}\n}\n```\n\n### Interconnect with AS209291\n\nVMesh is deployed on my network (AS209291) and is handling most internal traffic among nodes in\nthe globally distributed network.\n\nEmail me at `me@connected.direct` if you want to peer.","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Flosfair%2Fvmesh","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Flosfair%2Fvmesh","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Flosfair%2Fvmesh/lists"}
