Last year, I [dipped my toes in BGP](@/blog/2021-11-14-amprnet-bgp.md) while learning how to set up the infrastructure needed to route a public IPv4 address prefix to the world. A lot has changed since then, and I have fallen further into the world of network engineering and backbone routing.

At the time of writing my last post, I had been singlehomed on [Vultr](https://www.vultr.com/)'s network via their *byoip* (Bring Your Own IP) plan, and was peering with them using one of their private ASNs.
