| BGP-enabled hackerspaces | 38c3, network, bgp |
These are notes taken during and after the 38C3 conference in Hambourg. Notes might be a bit sketchy at times
I went to this session because I don't know anything about BGP and how it works. It was a bit hard to follow, but I got some knowledge out of it!
-
The conversation on how to have BGP-enabled hackerspaces started a few years back at CCC
-
Some people do this in Montreal, and in the Netherlands
-
The more people do this, the easier it will be to reduce the friction.

A
/32block of IP adresses is worth 60k€ (!!)
In germany, there is Community AX which is here to connect non-profits together.
Tools
- bgp.tools where you can navigate the different AS. For instance Labitat

Ideas
If you want to do it, find some people and get an AS number. It is possible on a business address, and requires a phone number.
The cost is of 90€ immediatly + 60€/y to get an AS number. It's useful to connect with somebody directly.
Getting people working at ISPs helps a lot because they know how it works.
Connect with your local university, they might want to help you and sponsor the AS number.
