🌐 Could BGP become part of your application delivery strategy?

With Anycast, eBGP, iBGP and ECMP, BGP can enable intelligent routing, multi-datacenter failover and traffic optimization.

Our latest technical guide explores how RELIANOID leverages BGP for high availability without relying exclusively on DNS-based load balancing.

OpenBGPD 9.2 released https://www.undeadly.org/cgi?action=article;sid=20260807061435 #openbsd #openbgpd #bgp #routing #networking #development #infrastructure #devops #libresoftware #freesoftware

Today, I discovered by accident that my #ISP that is exclusively active in #Germany doesn't have a direct peering link to #DTAG. While #BGPTools aggregation graph can be trusted, I tracerouted a few connections to some known DTAG services. My packets always route over #Zayo.

For me, it was a surprise to discover that my ISP with over 300 /24 IPv4 networks, doesn't have a direct peering agreement with the largest German network.

#KiCad + Dorota = plugin.

It helps you route tracks using 0Ω resistors. Because doing that manually is way too much clicking and accidentally lost work.

I've been told what I'm doing is fighting KiCad, but if the plugin gets me through this project, then I don't have to find another tool for a while.

OSRM 26.8.0 is out.

Maintenance release. Main fix: ways tagged access=unknown are now classified as restricted instead of fully allowed, correcting car routing behavior.

Enjoy the summer break, folks and see you at #SOTM in a few weeks.

I really don’t need any more peers for my AS201379! (Okay, maybe a few more...)

Started back in December 2025, and now this "little" infrastructure is running:

14 individual eBGP sessions
3 Internet Exchanges
Multiple transit providers
110+ direct peers

All 100% IPv6 (2a06:9801:1c::/48) because legacy IP belongs in the last century.

Powered entirely by FreeBSD :freebsd: : 4 routers on 15.1-RELEASE running FRR and PF.

Looks like Flatpak discovery will move from one mostly generally accepted hub to a gazillion of repos since the performative LLM complaints have befallen the possible single hub. (Partially half-understandable arguments, partially performative fluff for my taste)

Which is ok as it triggers competition that might lead to better outcomes. (bazaar vs cathedral and all, rite? 😏 )
And removes a possible single point of failure.

Now what I'd like to see is an approach that does discovery of those repos and enables search across those repos without a single point of failure. As e.g. a single, centrally hosted index for repos to register to would be.

Flatpak already uses a reverse-dns-namespace structure internally. Anything that would leverage that? Wouldn't help with enumeration though.

Something something DHT/Gossip/...? (as the cool thing from the past)

Clearly a problem that will arise with more of the expectable decentralized systems that need uniform discovery and search.

What's the Fedis wisdom on current academic approaches that might be interesting around this?
Or bastardized routing tech, yet another idea on how to twist DNS into a pretzel, etc? Dare I say: Blockchain (as the unpopular thing before the LLMs 🤣 )

Throw you best Arxiv posts etc. at me. I'm just curious about the state-of-the-art techn for now, all smirk and sarcasm aside.

HeiGIT deployed a custom openrouteservice instance to support the German Red Cross's earthquake response in Venezuela. It pulls in live road blockage reports from the Humanitarian Data Exchange alongside OSM data, so routes reroute instantly around damaged bridges and closed roads.

Real-world proof of what OSM plus dynamic routing can do when it matters most.

I've been doing some nerding today, replacing and upgrading routers. Here's some before-and-after CPU utilization graphs (higher is worse). I wasn't at capacity, but it was getting close which is what brought on the upgrade.

For the nerds, it's routing about 400k PPS at 5Gb-ish. For the REAL nerds, who I am certain will comment, YES I KNOW THAT'S NOT THAT MUCH!

It looks like a nice list has been put together over at RERITE — a working group dedicated to reproducible research in transportation engineering (rerite.org/about.html). Open datasets, benchmarks, and tools for transportation research have all been curated in one place.

Oh, and OSRM happened to get a mention in there too. 👀

I’m sure there’s a standard name for this, but I can’t for the life of me remember. It’s almost the Travelling Salesman Problem but without the requirement to return to the base.

Suppose I have a graph and I want to get from a start node to a finish node, visiting some given subset of the other nodes of the graph, taking the shortest route possible.

In my particular case, the “graph” is a Manhattan style grid and I need to visit a subset of intersections.

This feels like it’s a well known, named, problem, but I’m drawing a blank on the name and I’m stuck on where to start searching.

The openrouteservice from @heigit powers Deep Time Walk, a 4.6km walk where every meter equals a million years of Earth's history. The Route Creator tool uses ORS for snap-to-path routing and elevation data, so facilitators can place "Earth Stations" at the right spot on any trail.

Open routing carrying more than turn-by-turn directions.
