Playing battleships over BGP

BGP, the protocol that enables ISP-to-ISP interactions, is fundamental to internet routing despite its security vulnerabilities. The post explores an unconventional use of BGP to play a game of battleships. This experiment involved signaling game moves using BGP communities, demonstrating both the flexibility of BGP and the challenges of maintaining route stability and security. The experiment, though not practical, was a fun demonstration of BGP's capabilities.
