Yggdrasil is designed for physical links and multi-hop routing first and foremost. Internet peering is just a way to test/use/join the network until then.
- blurbleblurble 2y agoI'd love if my private nodes could peer directly so I wouldn't need to route all traffic through my budget VPs.
- wolletd 2y agoIf only there was some technology that would allow every peer to have its globally unique address, making direct connections only a matter of firewalls. I don't know, something like IPv4, but with more addresses...
- dinosaurdynasty 2y agoBoth tailscale (partially open source) and nebula (entirely open source, you have to host the "lighthouses" which assist in NAT punching yourself) do this. (Also tinc.) Yggdrasil is basically researching a replacement for BGP, so hole punching isn't a priority. (There is a 3rd party project that does something like this for Yggdrasil, but nebula is probably the better fully open source option.)
- AyyEye 2y agoOn ygg as long as the nodes are reachable they can peer. If your nodes are on LAN just turn on multicast peering it's fire and forget.
