  • I didn’t see this mentioned yet, but IP ranges are normally assigned by generic location, so each of thes routers routing to the next one (hops) basically have a memory table from prior routes/configured by ISPs to say “this is the best current upstream router to route to for this destination”. They also store the distance between routers and aim for the smallest distance. this is how they are fast and is called routing tables.

    Routing tables can be misconfigured causing major outages and old routers used to be able to only store a smaller table so 512k day happened. We already passed the next one 768k though ISPs mostly had their crap together for that one.





  • I have this setup and using the esp my stack device mentioned in the article. The biggest problem with it is esphome and home assistant expect home assistant to be running in a dedicated device for this to work. The integration uses a random UDP port to communicate with the M5 stack device. I had to resort to patching the Integration to use a couple specific ports to work properly.

    Unfortunately the fix didn’t last long and a update to home assistant updated the integration and now the text to search response fails for esphome devices. My next plan is to try to downgrade esphome integration to the old one that was patched / working and call it a day.
