Thanks for sharing. Although 'Boromir' and 'One does not simply' should absolutely be a match!

There's an expansion port on the front with a camera interface, so you could add on better AR cameras.

The finances work the other way around: you can often pay your transit/upstream providers an additional fee for their DDOS protection/filtering service, where you can signal (via BGP or otherwise) that there's traffic you don't want to receive. BGP Flowspec (or similar) is one of the technologies used here.

Yep, absolutely, often called "wave/wavelength" or "lambda" service, or "lit fiber".

DWDM tech improvements have outpaced nearly every other form of technology growth, so the same single pair of fiber that used to carry 10 Mbps can now carry 20 Tbps, which is a 2,000,000x multiplier. The same somewhat-fixed supply of fiber can go a very long way today, so the price pressure for access is less than you might expect.

All surface area carries risk, and LLDP is additional surface area when exposed on a public IX.

Depending on the streaming protocol (eg WARP), you can specify that the tracks (audio vs video) need to be time-aligned, so each group (chunk of video or audio) starts at the same time and lasts the same length. I think this means you'll get resync'd at the start of the next group.

Thanks for the info! I was reading up on CMAF after seeing it mentioned on your blog.

IPv6 routes also take more TCAM space than IPv4, so IPv6 growth (unless strongly aggregated) is actually more expensive than IPv4.

They're also working with a ton of remote and disparate organizations (ISPs), so locality is probably not as important.

Supply and demand aren’t perfectly measurable values.

Supply and demand change all the time, and can even shift while you’re in school, or over the 40+ expected years of most careers.

Telling someone to pick a career where demand > supply forever is impossible because if you believe in the market, supply will rise to meet demand.
