On the ‘net: Network Models at Packet Pushers
I’ve just started a new series on network models over at Packet Pushers. The first two installments are here:
On the ‘Net: The IETF at Packet Pushers
I’ve been writing a series about working within the IETF to publish a new standard over at Packet Pushers. The most recent installments are:
Hedge 194: Network Automation with the Network Automation Forum
Year after year network engineering media, vendors, and influencers talk about the importance of network automation—and yet according to surveys, most network operators still have not automated their network operations. In this episode of the Hedge, part 2 of 2, Chris Grundemann and Scott Robohn join the Hedge to give their ideas on why network automation isn’t happening, and how we can resolve the many blockers to automation.

Hedge 192: Addiction Recovery
Addiction and addiction recovery are not a “normal” Hedge topic, but addiction afflicts many people in Information Technology. We’re all “hard driven” types, who feel failure keenly, and we tend to spend more time working than is probably healthy for us. Brett Lovins has been through addiction and recovery, and joins Tom Ammon, Russ White, and Eyvonne Sharp to talk about this high impact topic.
Hedge 191: Power in the Data Center with Sarah Martin
While power is crucial for data centers, it’s also something network engineers don’t talk about a lot. In this episode of the Hedge, Sarah Martin from HED Design joins us to talk about the history, current state, and future of power in data centers.
Hedge 190: Sunspots
What impact would Electromagnetic Pulses (EMP) from a large-scale sunspot have in the modern world? One this episode of the Hedge, Ulrich Speidel and Jaap Akkerhuis join George Michaelson and Russ White to discuss space weather and its impact on communication systems. Note this is a joint episode with Ping, APNIC’s podcast. Because this is a joint recording, the format is a little different than normal.
