I'm now on Mastodon too, so follow me there too if you want to... @stolsma@fosstodon.org
The Xsightlabs E1L as COM-E module will be filling a gap in the marketspace of embedded and specialized device builders. Curious what kind of implementations using this module will hit the market. A pitty we have to wait until Q2 2027 for availability... xsightlabs.com/newsroom/anno…

GoBGP 4.0 has been released!
This major update brings many improvements.
Special thanks to the engineers at Cisco for their great contributions to this release. github.com/osrg/gobgp/releas…

GoBGP v4.0 is coming early next month.
Now using Go’s new netip and slog libraries instead of net and logrus, and replacing channel-based routing table access with mutex. Major memory improvements expected.
GoBGP v3.37.0 will be the final release in the 3.x series.
The next version will be 4.x and will introduce breaking changes, meaning it will not be backward compatible with the 3.x API.

Back to the future! 😉 It looks like we are 9 years? back in the past with programmable switches, only the company name changed... Hopefully, this time, this product/company can survive an Intel buying spree... 😀xsightlabs.com/xsight-labs-d…

🎉We raised $100M USD in our Series B financing. Thank you to USIT for leading this round, to our existing investors for their participation, and to our team, customers, and community for getting us to where we are today!

Hopefully, we will get more OCP double wide multi interface OCP NICs and even DPU/IPU based versions. For use in small, cheap, flexible remote network 'edge' boxes (like NUCs) that can also run open DHCP, DNS, SDN routing and mgmt software. servethehome.com/this-is-the…
Learned about how important a community is when I saw him working unrelentingly, creating one around NodeJS in the early days. Will never forget!
We’re heartbroken by the loss of Mikeal Rogers, a key figure in the Node.js ecosystem and a force behind so much of what makes this community what it is.
To help preserve his legacy, we’ve opened a GitHub repo for stories, photos, and memories: github.com/nodejs/mikeal
Mikeal believed in building human systems, not just software. If he impacted your life, we’d love for you to share something there.
💚 Thank you, Mikeal.

Exciting development! I'm curious about the details and openness, but first impression is good... Hopefully, units to play with will be readily available for everybody, not only large corporations. xsightlabs.com/xsight-labs-a…
Looks good! Looks really good!!! 😃 Hopefully, they will do the same with their E1 DPU non ARM Neoverse N2 IP, like hardware programable parser and accelerators...

I hoped the Tofino P4 compiler would be open sourced! 🎉 So much blood, sweat, and tears went into it.... Intel will be doing the good thing for once.
View a video on-demand, “Internals of the @Intel Tofino Compiler” presented by Glen Gibb at the P4 Workshop. He discusses details about the open sourcing of the Tofino P4 compiler next year. | bit.ly/3NXs1Xu

What do you do when a "trusted" company of a retail enterprise asks 30% more in a quote than the global list price of the requested networking kitlist + also replies with their interpretation (extra shit options) of what there should be in your kitlist, doubling the price otot 🙉
Impressive implementation, something I like to get my hands on when released on an FH/HL or HH/HL PCIe card!!! Will be an interesting H12025!

Even though we've been using packet-switched networks for decades and they power most of the world's digital communications, some questions remain unanswered -- like this one. Geoff Huston looks at how big a packet should be: blog.apnic.net/2024/10/08/th…
