The flight, military and vessel feeds were named after the providers the
bundled server uses (/api/opensky, /api/adsblol/mil, /api/ais-live and
their track routes; createOpenSkySource, createAdsbLolSource,
createAisStreamSource). Any server should be able to answer a feed from
its own provider, so the feeds are now:
/api/flights /api/flights/track?icao24=
/api/military /api/military/track?hex=
/api/vessels /api/vessels/track?mmsi=
with createFlightSource, createMilitarySource and createVesselSource. The
old routes are removed. Each server names its provider in X-Feed-Source
(the bundled server sends OpenSky Network, adsb.lol and AISStream, so its
attribution is unchanged) and the military feed's cache state and age in
X-Feed-Cache and X-Feed-Age-Ms. Sources report the provider the server
names and fall back to the feed's name.
ITU-R M.1371 encodes speed over ground in 0.1-knot units and course over
ground in 0.1-degree units, reserving the top code of each field for "not
available": SOG 1023 reaches us as 102.3 knots and COG 3600 as 360 degrees.
Both are finite, so numberValue passed them through as ordinary readings and
every consumer — vessel cards, the HUD, voice analyst queries — treated a
missing measurement as a real one.
Observed on a live AISStream feed of 3,062 vessels: exactly 3 records at
102.3 knots with no reading anywhere between 40 and 102.3, and 404 records
at exactly 360 degrees. One Dutch rescue boat moored at its station carried
both sentinels at once, so an analyst summary reported a maximum speed of
102.3 knots — faster than any vessel afloat.
Filter both at the store, where AISStream messages are decoded, so the
sentinels never enter the cache. Heading already had this treatment through
normalizedHeading with its own separate sentinel of 511.
