  -t, --type         *Circuit Type
  -c, --country      *Circuit Country
  -s, --state        *Circuit US State

$ ./cid
Circuit Type (IP Transit, Private Extension, SD-WAN, Cross Connect): transit
Country: us
US State: az
Customer ID: 123456

Country: United States of America
US State: Arizona
Type: IP Transit
Customer ID: 123456

Circuit ID: 1.84047.123456.8780

Format

The format is specific to Stellar's standards:

Circuit IDs are composed of the following variables:

• Service Type (IP Transit, MPLS, SD-WAN)
• Location Identifier
  • Combination of country (USA, in my case)
  • US Region ID (From list from the US Census Bureau)
  • US Division ID (From the same list)
  • US State FIPS Code (From the same list)
• Customer ID
  • Should be something reusable that maps to the customer across all systems. In our case, a customer CRM ID
• Service ID
  • Randomly generated 4 digit number

Creating a New Release

This project uses GoReleaser to manage releases. After completing code changes and committing them via Git, be sure to tag the release before pushing:

git tag <release>

Once a new tag is pushed, GoReleaser will automagically create a new build & release.
