- 6The New Stack·8/8/2026open_sourceEVPN with OpenPERouter enables KubeVirt VM migration across clusters
The article explains that cross-cluster live migration for KubeVirt VMs is limited mainly by networking, especially the need to preserve IP and MAC addresses and provide a separate migration path. It presents EVPN/VXLAN managed through OpenPERouter CRDs as an open source, Kubernetes-native way to create stretched Layer 2 and routed overlays for application and migration traffic.

Cloudflare reports that its measurements found around 70% of observed BGP paths across many vantage points had an ORIGIN value different from what the originating AS set. The company explains that ORIGIN is supposed to remain unchanged after injection into BGP, but altering it can influence route selection and shift traffic toward particular networks.
- 8Cloudflare Blog·6/3/2026researchCloudflare on Enforcing the First AS in BGP Paths
Cloudflare describes route hijacks that appear to rely on forged BGP AS_PATHs, including cases where attackers inserted implausible upstream ASes to misdirect traffic and hide their origin. The company argues that validating the first AS in an advertised route could help detect these attacks and says it stress-tested major networks to evaluate their BGP implementations.
