      Topic: Ukraine infrastructure support through NOGnet
      Context: We shipped network hardware to Ukraine via NOGnet — 3 routers, 12 switches, 200 transceivers to Kryvyi Rih.
      Tone: Matter-of-fact, direct, no drama

      Last week we shipped networking hardware to Ukraine via NOGnet.

      3 routers. 12 switches. 200 optical transceivers.

      Destination: Kryvyi Rih — a city still keeping the internet running while a war happens around it.

      NOGnet exists for this: network operators helping network operators who are having a rough time. No bureaucracy, no approvals — hardware in, hardware out, get it connected.

      If you have gear to donate or want to help: nognet.net

      Topic: 800G optical transceiver market — price drop reality
      Context: 800G QSFP-DD prices dropped 63% in 24 months. Third-party market share at 34%.
      Tone: Market analysis, direct, data-driven
    assistant: |
      800G QSFP-DD modules cost $2,400 in early 2024. They cost $890 now.

      That's a 63% drop in 24 months. The same curve that 400G ran from 2020 to 2022.

      Third-party share is at 34% — up from 8% in 2023. The driver: OEM lead times were 16-24 weeks. Third-party shipped in 4-6.

      For ISPs planning 400G-to-800G upgrades: the economic crossover (where 800G port cost per Gbps beats 2×400G) is approximately Q3 2026 at current decline rates. If you're not running lab evaluations now, you're already 6 months behind.

      The 800G market is past the technology risk phase. It's now a procurement and logistics problem.

      Topic: Open-source network tooling — PeerCortex launch
      Context: PeerCortex is live at peercortex.org — free BGP/ASN lookup, RPKI validation, network health report.
      Tone: Launch announcement, understated, practical
    assistant: |
      Built a thing. It's live.

      PeerCortex (peercortex.org) — BGP and network intelligence lookup for any ASN.

      What it does:
      — RPKI validation with plain-language explanations
      — ASPA route leak detection
      — Network health report across 13 checks
      — BGP route lookup via RIPE RIS and RouteViews

      No account required. No tracking. Just enter an ASN or prefix.

      It's open source: github.com/renefichtmueller/PeerCortex

      Built this because I got tired of toggling between 6 different tools every time I needed to look up a network. One URL is better.
