Planetary Network - Peer list

Hi Everyone.

To improve connectivity and stability to the Planetary Network we have put together a peer list that is currently in use by all ZOS nodes, the Grid backend and the TF Connect app. The Planetary Network is still in beta so we try to make it function in the best way possible. This list consists of ZOS nodes that have shown to be reliable (trough months of monitoring) and have a public config (public IPv4/6). Every ZOS node that act as a public gateway (aka has a public config) becomes a possible peer for the Planetary Network.

This list should be used if you manually installed the Planetary Network (or Yggdrasil) client on your device. Please make sure not to include more external peers, as this could trigger some known routing issues and will make this list obsolete. Locate the Yggdrasil config file and add the peers to it in this format:

What is this Planetary Network - Yggdrasil used for?

It’s a core component for communication between the grid backend and all the ZOS nodes but its also used by users to connect to workloads.
If you deploy a workload without public ip and without Wireguard VPN enabled in your network resource, you can use the Planetary Network to connect to your grid workload. Make sure you have the client installed on your device with this peer list -> enable ‘Planetary Network’ while deploying your workload -> use the provided IPv6 address to connect with SSH to your workload.

What’s the advantage of using this list?

The list works around some of the known routing issues. It will segregate the Threefold Grid on a separate “subnet” as long as we don’t use external peers.

Don’t hesitate to ask questions, post remarks or suggestions.
