Supporting lab artifacts for experiments written up at otherthings.cloud — configurations, manifests, scripts and topologies.

What is here, and what is not

This repo holds artifacts: the things you would run.

The blog holds the narrative and the evidence — what I tried, what happened, what I got wrong, the measurements and the packet captures. If you want to know why something is configured the way it is, or whether it actually worked, that is on the blog. If you want to reproduce it, it is here.
