Fredi Raspall
Over 16 months, contributed to the githedgehog/dataplane repository by architecting and delivering a robust, modular networking dataplane with advanced routing, NAT, and flow management features. Leveraging Rust and C, implemented scalable VRF-aware routing, VXLAN/VTEP integration, and a high-performance CLI, while refactoring core subsystems for concurrency, observability, and testability. Developed a fluent VPC manifest API, extended NAT and port-forwarding with stateful flow lifecycles, and introduced policy-driven tracing and caching layers. Integrated Kubernetes and gRPC for flexible configuration, and maintained rigorous code hygiene through automated testing, dependency management, and continuous refactoring, resulting in a maintainable, production-ready networking platform.

Dec 1, 2025December 2025: Delivered gateway naming across dataplane with CLI --name and hostname fallback, plus test utilities/fixtures to prove gwname visibility in tests. Enhanced the CLI and LaunchConfiguration to fix submodule visibility, introduce new args (--path, --bind-address), enable automatic connect on start, and automatic reconnect on failures, while exposing the gateway name through the CLI. Strengthened routing and MGMT/VPC configuration with a new Community variant, deterministic ordering for GwGroupMember, and extended adv route-map for VPC routing, enabling richer policies and predictable behavior. Introduced k8s-less mode with a dedicated crate and a --config-dir option, plus ConfigClient integration to simplify mgmt/k8s config flows. Began decoupling gRPC: removed gRPC interface/server/converters and gateway-proto dependency, upgraded gateway dep to v0.33.0, and laid groundwork for a leaner, more modular architecture. Also fixed MGMT/NAT tests and added gwname tests to improve stability and test coverage.

Sep 1, 2025September 2025 monthly summary for githedgehog/dataplane: Delivered robust error handling, enhanced tracing, and improved observability across the dataplane stack. Implemented explicit error signaling for missing headers, ensured statistics processing runs as the final stage, and wired trace controller initialization. Introduced a centralized tracing control crate (tracectl) with tests, configuration getters, and trace target management, and extended tracing across dataplane, routing, and config surfaces. Stabilized and automated tracing workflows, exposed CLI visibility for tracing tags and targets, and achieved performance improvements through kernel-driver worker simplification. These changes increase end-to-end traceability, reduce operator toil, and provide measurable business value through improved diagnostics and reliability.

Jul 1, 2025July 2025 monthly performance: Delivered core VPC virtualization capabilities, NAT support, and routing enhancements, along with substantial improvements to dataplane observability, startup reliability, and config management. Key features include VpcMap infrastructure and API surface (Clone for VpcMapReader and public access to key methods), NAT support in the management path with egress VNI state, and a VNI-based nexthop/path selector for routing. Dataplane improvements added ingress VRF override, deduplication, a new stats stage, and exposure of dataplane counters and peering statistics. Observability and config scaffolding were strengthened via a new stats crate, expanded stats collection across components, FRRMI stats with CLI visibility, and a configurable mgmt stack (new config crate and mgmt config integration). These changes deliver measurable business value: clearer metrics, improved multi-tenant networking, and more maintainable, scalable code. Overall, the month closed with a more reliable, observable dataplane foundation ready for continued feature expansion.
