Creating an Autonomous System for Fun and Profit

Quick article on “becoming a part of the internet”/making your own ISP almost from scratch

i love how when you reach a certain level of technical internet fuckery the main thing that keeps it all running smoothly is like little backroom deals and doing favors for other freaks who happen to be doing the exact same weird shit you’re into

as above, so below, etc

i love the people tagging this “reference” as if they too intend to blow a few thousand bucks on rack space and industrial high throughput network switches

I’ve done this. The real trick is knowing how to fill out the paperwork, the major reoccurring cost is the colo, and I didn’t get the colo space until six months AFTER I got the ASN.

I spent more on my gaming PC than I did on most of the routers that carry full tables.

I do this professionally too and can ABSOLUTELY confirm its just pieces of paper PDFs that say “I authorize you to do this.”
