GNU Terry Pratchett through the Looking Glasses
“A man is not dead while his name is still spoken.”
One day I discovered the existence of Looking Glasses. It was so long ago now that I don’t remember exactly what led to it, but I know I found http://www.bgplookingglass.com and became quite intrigued by it.
A Looking Glass is a system that network operators might use to find out Internet routing and BGP-related information. They provide insight into how a particular router connects the Autonomous Systems that make up the internet.
But this post isn’t about Looking Glasses, it’s about something else I found. So back to my story…
