@averlice @briankrebs Obviously centralization is an issue and I'd consider state-sponsored attackers criminally incompetent if they didn't compromize #IXP|s and #IX|es.

In fact, we all know that there's #Glimmerglass hardware spliced into the @decix 's PoP in NYC since before #PRISM so yeah, OFC all the major providers will have their #Govware - Infrastructure for "#LawfulInterception" broken into.
- Espechally since these boxes usually have hardcoded credentials and allow anyone with access to use them for stuff.

I can't go into further details, but basically there is #logging, #recording / packet #capture & redirection infra that is transparent at every #ISP that isn't like exempt due to being less than say 10k subscribers / users …

Part 3 of my hobby AS series is up: connecting my AS201379 to LocIX Düsseldorf via a dedicated FreeBSD edge router.

Covers route server peering, IPv6-in-IPv6 GIF tunnels, PF on a shared peering LAN, and iBGP back to the core.

Hello Belgrade!
We’ve upgraded our DNS node at SOX and are now ready to resume peering.
Big thanks to the SOX team for their support in making our DNS infrastructure faster, more secure, and more resilient.

My autonomous System AS201379 is now connected to an Internet Exchange Point (IXP): LocIX in Düsseldorf.

It's already showing up in the global routing table and traffic already starts flowing through the direct links with my peers 🙂

Amazing !

Last Thursday, we held a small hackathon to prepare our micro-Internet workshop for @clt_news (CLT2026). Setting up the small Linux routers was a real blast with RouterKit, a framework for software routers currently under development. Thanks to every tasty dal from Maurice, we were able to hack late into the night. We are looking forward to CLT 2026 :)

If you’re attending, be sure to connect with Sergio Rojas! It’s always great to meet operators, network engineers, and community members working together to build a stronger Internet.
Looking forward to the conversations and connections. 🤝🌐

Hello Tuvalu!
We’re excited to share that Packet Clearing House (PCH) services are now available in Tuvalu at Tuvalu Telecom.
Even though there isn’t an IXP in Tuvalu yet, we believe it’s important to start building a faster, more secure, and more resilient DNS infrastructure for the community.
A big thank you to the Tuvalu Telecom team for making this possible. We truly appreciate your support and collaboration!
