Network configuration analysis has always been the domain of commercial-grade software. Batfish changes all that with an open source, community-supported tool that can find errors and guarantees the correctness of planned or current network configurations. Ratul Mahajan joins Tom Ammon and Russ White to talk about this new tool, its capabilities, and the importance of network configuration analysis. rule11.tech/hedge-213/

Made a few commits into Batfish this week and learned about ANTLR. Pretty cool stuff, looking forward to more of all that.

At SIGCOMM '23 tomorrow, Dan Halperin will present a paper that I can only describe as labor of love. It describes our key learnings while turning @batfish_ from a research toy to an industrial-strength network verification tool. dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36032…

Network configuration testing is a logical automation extension for teams. @saidvandeklunde shows how to use @batfish_, @pandas_dev and @pytestdotorg tools for this process. saidvandeklundert.net/2023-0…

Testing network configurations using Batfish, Pandas and pytest

Great read! This feature highlights Batfish use cases and references our recent Network & Routing Verification with Batfish webinar, starring NTC's Jeff Kala! techtarget.com/searchnetwork…

Batfish use cases for network validation and testing

Automated pre-change network validation with Batfish can save time in the network change management process and minimize configuration and policy errors when deploying changes.

NEXT WEEK! Save your seat for our next community webinar! You'll get to see how to perform routing verification checks and learn how you can start to create your own checks with Batfish! us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi…

Have you ever wondered how well you are testing network configurations? Are you exercising all clauses of important route maps? Xieyang Xu just released NetCov tool to do just that! Check out the code at github.com/UWNetworksLab/net… and a short video at youtube.com/watch?v=FcBD2Lhx…

It integrates nicely with (py)batfish and requires minimal changes to your existing test code.

Yet another massive outage due to an avoidable routing configuration error. Yet another failure of a large infra provider to use proper testing.

The information comes from the report @Rogers submitted as a reply to the Request for Information by the CRTC (Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission) A link to the report can be found here crtc.gc.ca/otf/eng/2022/8000…

However, the story gets real interesting leveraging the Dolt-backed Version Control app too, ie. stage change in Nautobot branch, generate config, run BF tests, merge to "main" in Nautobot, etc. #NFD27

Pre-deployment validation of BGP changes would be a great toolkit toward better routing security.

Pre-deployment validation not only helps prevent incidents but also simplifies root-cause diagnosis and remediation. And what's more, no rollbacks are needed! Read about the benefits of pre-deployment validation: bit.ly/3HyrEgU

Been using Batfish for a few years now and the thing still blows my mind with what it can do 👍

Yea, I took a peek at your ANTLR grammars. Wow, it’s quite exhaustive.
