@scotwells @privateip I have another round of edits I am going to do. I think this will work better as 2 documents. |
- README.md: rewritten as concept doc — Total Load Balancing vision, signal roadmap, routing decision hierarchy, phase index - geo-phase1.md: all Phase 1 Geographic Intelligence detail — Roy Kent Project intro, roadmap, GeoDB, named IP lists, consumers, distribution architecture
- README.md -> total-load-balancing.md (concept doc, Total Load Balancing) - geo-phase1.md -> roy-kent-project.md (Phase 1 renamed to Roy Kent Project) - Remove all Phase 1 terminology; use project names throughout - Add Health signal above RTT in signal table - Expand GPU Availability to Compute Availability (GPU, CPU, DPU)

changed the title
- Add higgins-bus.md: MOQT as the pub/sub transport layer for Total Load Balancing, covering track namespace design, GeoDB hybrid model (object storage for bulk + MoQ notifications/deltas), named IP list real-time distribution, relay topology via moqstream, and health signal tracks - Update roy-kent-project.md: Distribution Architecture section now names Higgins Bus as the transport, calls out named IP list and GeoDB hybrid models explicitly, and links to the new doc - Update total-load-balancing.md: add Distribution Transport section with track namespace table across all signal groups; note Higgins Bus in the signal distribution description - Both project codenames carry an internal-only disclaimer Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Adds three documents under
enhancements/networking/traffic-intelligence/introducing the Total Load Balancing vision, the first geo project under it, and the MoQ-based transport layer that carries signals to the edge.Documents
total-load-balancing.md
The concept document. Introduces Total Load Balancing — a network architecture where routing intelligence signals (geography, latency, ASN, congestion, sovereignty, health, risk, compute availability) move fluidly across the platform rather than being trapped in isolated appliances. Modeled on the Total Football philosophy. Covers the signal roadmap, routing decision vision, project index, and a Distribution Transport section naming Higgins Bus as the signal distribution layer with a track namespace table spanning all current and future signal groups.
roy-kent-project.md
The first Total Load Balancing project. Scopes to geography only — making geo data broadly available and reusable across DNS (GSLB), Envoy (ACLs and ALB), metrics enrichment, Galactic VPC, and UFO Compute. Covers GeoDB requirements, customer-managed named IP lists, all seven consumers, and the distribution architecture — now using Higgins Bus (MOQT) as the transport. Named IP lists distribute as real-time MoQ tracks; GeoDB uses a hybrid model (object storage for bulk snapshots, MoQ for version notifications and delta patches).
higgins-bus.md (new)
The transport design document. Defines Higgins Bus — the MOQT-based pub/sub layer that carries all Total Load Balancing signals to edge PoPs. Covers why MOQT fits (QUIC-native fan-out, relay topology, object TTLs), the full track namespace across Roy Kent and future projects (including health), the GeoDB hybrid distribution model with failure handling, named IP list real-time distribution with TTL/expiry semantics, relay infrastructure via moqstream, and protocol caveats.

Provisional — working documents, subject to change as vendor evaluation and PowerDNS research complete.
