Vincent Bernat

I am Vincent Bernat. I currently work for Free 🚀, a French ISP and telecom provider. In the past, I worked for Shadow 🎮, Exoscale ☁️, Deezer 🎧, Dailymotion 📺, Orange 📱, and Wallix 🛡️. I like cats 🐈.

The main content of this site is my blog. The latest articles are “An interactive introduction to the spanning tree protocol,” “A non-interactive introduction to the spanning tree protocol,” and “Building a Soviet Nail Factory: how KPIs killed efficiency.” The most popular article is “VXLAN: BGP EVPN with FRR.” I also recommend reading “Fast and dynamic encoding of Protocol Buffers in Go,” “Jerikan+Ansible: a configuration management system for network,” “BGP LLGR: robust and reactive BGP sessions,” “OPL2LPT: an AdLib sound card for the parallel port,” “(Micro)​benchmarking Linux kernel functions,” and “Live patching QEMU for VENOM mitigation.”
