• APNIC ☛ Preventing route leaks made simple: BGP roleplay with Junos (RFC 9234)

  Accidental route leaks and hijacks have been business-as-usual ever since Yakov Rekhter and Kirk Lougheed sketched out the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) on two napkins 35 years ago. It has taken all this time to realize that a very simple tweak, though very limited in its nature, could have prevented the vast majority of those incidents. That tweak is now defined in RFC 9234, which, as I said, is something we wish had existed back then.

• SchwarzTech ☛ Article: My iPad’s Raspberry Pi Sidecar

  Unlike remote access tools like VNC and SSH that access a Raspberry Pi from across your network, or tools like Orion that turn your iPad into an HDMI display for a Raspberry Pi, this method configures the Raspberry Pi in “gadget” mode, creating a private link that appears as a wired Ethernet connection over a USB cable. The Pi’s address will never change, either as it is also a DHCP server for the iPad. As an added bonus, the same cable powers the Pi, creating a setup as simple as plugging the Pi into your iPad and waiting for it to appear, rather than needing a network.

• University of Toronto ☛ Could NVMe disks become required for adequate performance?

  It's not news that full speed NVMe disks are extremely fast, as well as extremely good at random IO and doing a lot of IO at once. In fact they have performance characteristics that upset general assumptions about how you might want to design systems, at least for reading data from disk (for example, you want to generate a lot of simultaneous outstanding requests, either explicitly in your program or implicitly through the operating system). I'm not sure how much write bandwidth normal NVMe drives can really deliver for sustained write IO, but I believe that they can absorb very high write rates for a short period as you flush out a few hundred megabytes or more. This is a fairly big sea change from even SATA SSDs (and I believe SAS SSDs), never mind HDDs.
