It also briefly evokes robotic pizza preparation. ### Source excerpt Information is not meaningful simply because it exists or because it is improbable. It becomes meaningful only if there exists a system that can interpret it and use it to perform a function. At first glance, asking whether Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) make the Internet faster may seem almost provocative at a peering forum. Surely the answer is simply 'yes'? If you're dealing with industrial protocols, you'll certainly have seen Modbus packets in your network. But what are these packets used for, and what data do they contain? Yet I have become increasingly concerned that, in the case of IPv6, we are evaluating the technology almost entirely from the perspective of what it allows networks to do, while giving insufficient attention to what it may allow network operators, corporations and governments to do to their users and if the benefits outweigh the risks. The future of fast food was supposed to look something like this: walk into a restaurant, place an order, and watch a robot assemble your pizza with machine-like precision. ## The Internet's New Edge Builders DevFeed: [The Internet's New Edge Builders]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Arman Obosyan Published: 2026-09-08T06:55:03Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [RIPE Labs]() Topics: [Internet](), [Cloud](), [Networks](), [Network](), [amazon](), [Google](), [Meta](), [Microsoft]() Tags: [amazon](), [architecture](), [article](), [atlas](), [cdn](), [cloud](), [google](), [infrastructure](), [internet](), [internet-infrastructure](), [measurements](), [meta](), [microsoft](), [network](), [networks](), [peering](), [research](), [systems]() ### AI overview The article examines how content and cloud platforms are moving from operating private backbones toward controlling delivery infrastructure closer to users.

The release fixes storage, recovery, peering, validation, and dashboard issues; restricts unsafe fast EC configurations; improves NVMeoF Gateway failover; adds listener and subsystem CLI commands; introduces a transient exclusive RBD lock policy; and updates dashboard navigation and forms. ### Source excerpt This is the first minor release in the Tentacle series. We recommend that all users update to this release. Release Date ¶ April 06, 2026 Notable Changes ¶ OSD / BlueStore ¶ EC Recovery: Fixed a length calculation bug in erase_after_ro_offset() that caused empty shards to retain data, leading to shard_size >= tobj_size assertion failures when recovering small objects in EC pools. BlueFS Volume Selector: Updated the BlueFS volume selector to properly account for file size changes when recovering the WAL in envelope mode. BlueFS: Fixed a bug where stat() missed the actual file size update after indexing WAL envelope files. Monitor (mon) ¶ Fast EC Restrictions: Denied the ability to enable EC optimizations ("fast EC") for non-4K-aligned chunk sizes. Unaligned chunk sizes handled by fast EC perform poorly and suffer from bugs, so attempts to force this configuration are now rejected. Peering: Ensured ceph pg repeer proposes a correctly sized pg temp, as optimized EC cannot cope with mismatched sizes. NVMeoF Gateway: Added a new nvme-gw listeners command to display all existing listeners (including auto-listeners) inside a pool/group. NVMeoF Failover: Overhauled the NVMeoF Gateway fast-failover logic. Beacon timeouts are now evaluated within prepare_beacon to support shorter intervals, and the mechanism for detecting monitor slowness was improved. librbd & rbd-mirror ¶ RBD: Introduced a new RBD_LOCK_MODE_EXCLUSIVE_TRANSIENT policy for rbd_lock_acquire(). This is a low-level interface intended to allow a peer to grab exclusive lock manually for short periods of time with other peers pausing their activity and waiting for the lock to be released rather than instantly aborting I/O and returning an error. It's possible to switch from RBD_LOCK_MODE_EXCLUSIVE to RBD_LOCK_MODE_EXCLUSIVE_TRANSIENT policy and vice versa even if the lock is already held. Ceph Object Gateway (RGW) ¶ Multi-Part Operations: Fixed conditional validation handling in MultiWrite, Delete, and MultiDelete ## How Internet Exchanges (IX) Help Enterprises Save Bandwidth & Costs DevFeed: [How Internet Exchanges (IX) Help Enterprises Save Bandwidth & Costs]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Shivam Anand Published: 2025-08-30T13:09:53Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [Shivam Anand - DevOps & Cloud Engineering Blog]() Topics: [Internet](), [networking](), [BGP](), [Routing (disambiguation)](), [Latency](), [Scalability](), [Cloud]() Tags: [bandwidth-savings](), [bgp](), [cloud-connectivity](), [cost-savings](), [data-center-interconnect](), [enterprise-networking](), [firewall](), [internet](), [internet-exchange](), [isp-costs](), [ix](), [ixp](), [latency](), [mpls](), [paloalto-firewall](), [peering](), [remote-peering](), [scalability](), [university-connectivity](), [vlan]() ### AI overview This article explains how enterprises can use Internet Exchanges (IX) and VLAN-based multi-campus links to exchange traffic directly with networks, cloud providers, and content platforms.
