         but it seems blt-28 is a high-altitude balloon

cnw - Charles N. Wyble

d-q - abbreviation of delta-q

delta-q - The basic theory of OpenLibernet is that any distributed computing system (Internet is just
          a supercomputer) introduces loss and delay between given points in spacetime
          w/r/t translocation of information. Loss and delay are fungible, and can be
          quantified (that is, loss is just infinite delay, and you can avoid losing
          a packet if you can delay it an arbitrarily long time). This loss/delay factor
          is termed 'delta-q' and can be thought of as quality attenuation.

WAN flapping - A wide area network (WAN) is a network that covers a broad area (i.e., any
               telecommunications network that links across metropolitan, regional, or national
               boundaries) using private or public network transports.

               Route flapping occurs when a router alternately advertises a destination network via
               one route then another (or as unavailable, and then available again) in quick sequence.
