Network engineering. Internet infrastructure. Automation.
Hextet Systems is a network engineering and IT consulting company based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. We specialize in designing, building, optimizing, and troubleshooting networks for ISPs, WISPs, hosting providers, and businesses.
From getting your first BGP session established to untangling complex routing problems, we help make networks more reliable, scalable, and easier to operate.
Our work spans the network stack, with particular expertise in:
- Routing & Internet Infrastructure — BGP, OSPF, routing policy, peering, RPKI, and traffic engineering.
- IPv6 — Architecture, deployment, migration, and dual-stack operations.
- MPLS & Network Transport — MPLS, VPLS, VXLAN, VLANs, and Layer 2/3 network design.
- Subscriber Management & AAA — FreeRADIUS, RADIUS accounting, RadSec, PPPoE, BNG, DHCP, and CGNAT.
- DNS Infrastructure — Recursive and authoritative DNS, PowerDNS, dnsdist, and Anycast DNS.
- Network Automation — APIs, scripting, configuration management, monitoring, and custom integrations.
- Network Security & Resilience — DDoS mitigation, routing security, segmentation, and high-availability architecture.
- Vendor Platforms — MikroTik RouterOS, Cisco, Juniper, Cambium, and open-source networking software.
We believe that good infrastructure benefits from good tools, and that useful solutions deserve to be shared.
This GitHub organization hosts projects, scripts, integrations, and configuration examples developed through real-world network operations.
Our interests include:
- Network automation and operational tooling
- RADIUS/AAA administration and troubleshooting
- BGP and routing visibility
- DNS infrastructure and diagnostics
- Monitoring, observability, and alerting
- IPv4/IPv6 utilities and network diagnostics
Where practical, we build on open standards, favor interoperability, and contribute improvements back to the open-source ecosystem.
We welcome bug reports, feature requests, documentation improvements, and contributions from other network operators and developers.
Many of the best tools start with someone encountering the same problem twice.
