Internet Tiers, POPs & IXPs 🌐

Tiers:
• Tier 1 – Global backbone (AT&T, NTT)
• Tier 2 – Regional (Airtel, Jio)
• Tier 3 – Local ISPs

POP (Point of Presence) – ISP's physical location (servers, routers)

IXP (Internet Exchange Point) – Where ISPs connect & exchange traffic for free!

This is how the internet stays connected. 🤝

Die Open-Source-Community traf sich in Chemnitz und wir waren wieder dabei! In unserem Workshop haben wir Linux-Enthusiasten ins echte Internet losgelassen. Wir haben 16 AS-Nummern für unsere Teilnehmer bei der RIPE registriert. Jeder Teilnehmer hat von uns einen kleinen Linux-Router erhalten und konnte damit verschiedene Rollen (ORG, ISP, IXP) im Internet nachstellen. So konnten wir die grundlegende Funktionsweise des Internets simulieren. Es entstand ein großartiger Kabelsalat, viele BGP-Peerings und zahlreiche nette Gespräche zwischen den Teilnehmern.

Die Workshopmaterialien findet ihr hier: https://workshop.routerkit.net

Zusätzlich hat @m4rc3l einen sehr interessanten Vortrag über IfState und dessen NixOS-Integration gehalten. Sehr empfehlenswert – die Aufzeichnung seines Vortrags findet ihr unter https://media.ccc.de/v/clt26-321-deklarative-netzwerkkonfiguration-mit-nixos

Wir freuen uns schon auf die CLT 2027.

Olá São Paulo!
We’re happy to announce that our node in São Paulo has been upgraded, and we are ready to resume peering.
As always, this wouldn’t have been possible without the support of NIC.BR!
Thank you for helping us build a faster, more secure, and more resilient DNS infrastructure!

@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 …
