OpenPERouter is a lightweight, open-source Provider Edge (PE) router designed to bridge traditional networking with the cloud-native ecosystem. By running directly on Linux hosts and Kubernetes nodes, it terminates VPN protocols and exposes a standard BGP interface, simplifying complex network topologies. In this session, we will explore the architecture of OpenPERouter and demonstrate how to deploy and interact with host-level Layer 3 protocols and Layer 2 interfaces. We will showcase its seamless integration with the cloud-native ecosystem, specifically enabling L3 EVPN tunneling to common Kubernetes network components like Calico and MetalLB. Additionally, we will demonstrate how OpenPERouter naturally extends to virtual machine networks by achieving a cross-cluster Layer 2 overlay using EVPN, VXLAN, and KubeVirt. Finally, we will share the project roadmap, highlighting upcoming support for new VPN protocols and standalone deployment methods outside of Kubernetes. Join us to discover how to transform your nodes into advanced network endpoints and simplify fabric connectivity.
