Running Your Own As: BGP on FreeBSD with FRR, GRE Tunnels, and Policy Routing

Not to nitpick, but the title should have AS capitalized. It’s confusing with the current capitalization.

Right! I was confused for a bit until I started reading it.

Otherwise, getting to know the power of FreeBSD is awesome. Thanks for creating the blog!

I think HN tends to undo all caps words unless it's an acronym HN specifically recognizes. Guessing BGP, GRE, and FreeBSD are understood but AS is not.

It’s too late now, but when submitting a post the poster has a window of time to edit the title. Useful for example when HN auto-edits to capitalisation get some words wrong. When you edit the title, those auto-edits are not applied to your edited title.

I would imagine AS is as common as the software you'd use to run one (FRR) right?
