Notes from building and running a BNG

Shorter pieces: operational practice, what changed in a release, and the occasional account of something we got wrong and fixed.

01 Queued

Planned
What we changed after the first production soak
The operational lessons from a long-running validation run, and which of them became defaults.
Planned
Why our compliance logging alarms instead of dropping
A missed mandated record is a legal problem, not acceptable backpressure. What that means in practice.
Planned
Staged configuration, and why we did not build a web-first product
Change control at the access edge, and why the candidate model came before the GUI.
Planned
Sizing a gateway honestly
How we quote capacity when the honest answer depends on hardware we have not seen yet.

We would rather have four articles worth an engineer’s time than forty written for search engines. The list alongside is what is queued.

If you want one of them now, ask — we will send the notes.
