Deep technical analysis and real-world networking experiences
When you're running BGP full tables (like the ~220k IPv6 routes I receive), understanding prefix length distribution becomes interesting for network analysis. The question is simple: how many /48s, /32s, /44s am I actually receiving? The popular bird_exporter for Prometheus monitoring didn't support this out
I recently set up a Geofeed for my ASN (AS215855) and figured I’d share how I’m hosting it — along with a small quirk I ran into around MIME types. What’s a Geofeed? A geofeed is a simple CSV file that helps geolocation providers (think MaxMind, IPinfo, etc.
I am peering with BGP.Exchange in different locations. BGP.Exchange is a virtual IX where anyone can join and peer virtually, meaning there's no need to have physical presence in a datacenter. You just create a tunnel to one of the endpoint locations and have your BGP
BGP is built on trust, but as with everything else you can't trust people. I am not saying that BGP hijacks are only by malicious actors but it happens. And even if the hijack isn't malicious, you will be affected when an hijack occur. RPKI is
For quite some time, I had been thinking of getting my self an ASN and a IPv6 prefix. One of the questions that I got stuck at almost every time was; where do I even start? Finding a LIR Since my purpose is purely for personal use and as a
