New blog post!

bgp.tools is now on 120~ different IX LANs, and since IX LANs are not that different from the ethernet switches in your office and home, that means there are going to be some weird and wonderful things that people have enabled or attached to IX LANs

So I've rounded up in a blog post all of the weird stuff I've seen, how dangerous it is, and why I sometimes know when the Brazil military makes a typo on their router CLI!

Some interesting stuff I found on IX LANs
