This is a blog mostly about techie things, what I am doing to my apartment network on the cheap, IOT, 3D Printing, Raspberry Pis, Arduinos, ESP32, ESP8266, Home Automation, Personal Weather Stations, Things That Go Bump in the Night, and some side issues that need discussing. Remember, sometimes the journey to an end is as much fun as the goal achieved!

Learning BGP - Thinking of adding a number of RPi BGP routers to the network
I have been toying with a way of cross-pollinating the packets on my home network. Right now I am at a quandary on how to allow computers on my Media VLAN to talk to the printer on the Pers VLAN. It is an interesting problem and one that strangely enough has something to do with two projects that I am working on at work. I want to explore how to route information from one network to another given that the subnet on each end of the gateway have the same ip addresses, but yet must remain different. I think the key to this something approaching the BGP protocol perhaps with some gateway translation in the middle. More later.
