Indeed, with the exception of getting the expansion of BGP incorrect, he's simplified it and explained it in a way that the average viewer can understand... He's really good at that, and has done a great job with this! Matthew Walster

He sure is. I did point up the definition bobble in a comment. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R. Ashworth Baylink jra@baylink.com Designer The Things I Think RFC 2100 Ashworth & Associates http://www.bcp38.info 2000 Land Rover DII St Petersburg FL USA BCP38: Ask For It By Name! +1 727 647 1274
Very well done , especially for a layman. His snark level is excellent too. I've definitely shared this around to some people, pointing out that he seems to know BGP better than they do, and they get paid for it. MY snark is going over about as good as you might expect. :) On Thu, Apr 8, 2021 at 12:53 PM Jay R. Ashworth <jra@baylink.com> wrote:

If one follows the social media accounts of the Pakistan version of the FCC, nowadays they're just banning anything they find insulting or illegal in the local legal system, and ordering ISPs to null route big chunks of IP space. As an anecdotal data point, the only effect this has had is teaching random 14 year olds how to use ordinary consumer grade VPNs, which work just fine. https://www.pta.gov.pk/en On Thu, Apr 8, 2021 at 9:52 AM Jay R.

That's a silver lining in the dark cloud. They're learning networking; sort of. :) scott

Or, perhaps some kid watched that and said "Oh that's cool, I want to know more about how that works!" , and planted a seed for a future career. (More likely they went back to Fortnite videos, but one can dream, right?) On Thu, Apr 8, 2021 at 6:21 PM Eric Kuhnke <eric.kuhnke@gmail.com> wrote:
