But but but...
but what about the most important information missing in this article? Who WON????
Playing Battleships over the Border Gateway Protocol probably wasn't a scenario considered by the standard's authors, but UK blogger Ben "Jojo" Cox has explained how to do it. Cox's tutorial is part amusement, part warning, because while explaining the protocol (and why it's hard to fix), he pointed out that in the 32 bits …
From the linked article :
"...the final blow to my friend AS203729 was dealt on the 68th move. Making me the first winner of a board game conducted done over a public internet routing protocol."
As I recall, Battleship is usually played with each player launching a "salvo" of five shots, and being told in reply something along the lines of: "You got two hits on destroyers, one on my battleship, two misses." It sounds as if this game is being played with single shots, which should simplify the whole process.
I read an interesting article a while back about an effort to determine an optimal strategy for Battleship. It's a tough game to analyze, with a huge decision tree.

Never played it that way. I always played one after the other, which is how most seem to play it.

"Almost as useful as some of the Juniper (ab)uses of BGP... Actually more useful...
Anon... For obvious reasons..."
Double bullshit. First that JunOS has some horrible BGP abuse in it, when the whole thing has been, as they say in the UK, bog standard.
The second bullshit for suggesting that there was some big issue in JunOS BGP that you have to post anonymously. Nothing you can say or post about JunOS BGP could be of any consequence that you have to post anonymously. Juniper isn't Oracle, that forbids you from posting benchmarks in the shrink-wrap license. But hey, it is 2018, and conspiracies are more fun than facts.
way back when he was cool. The great advantage is that DNS is extremely well cached, so you could run a web radio station from a measly little ISDN line.
BTW back when ISDN was introduced in Germany, there was a manufacturer of ISDN equipment demonstrating chess over "User to User Signaling", an obscure feature of ISDN which allowed you to send free data while establishing a call.
