New material at Rule 11 Academy this week:
Understanding Intra-AS BGP
Suboptimal BGP Route Reflection Lab
I’ve done a good bit of BGP to this point; I’m probably going to work on link state or some other part of the outline next week. I’m trying to make certain everyone who signs up for the first time gets the first six months for free; the membership plugin is being a bit squirrely, so you might see accounts expired, etc. I’m fixing these as I see them.
Hedge 228: Five Execs Misunderstandings about Tech
Miscommunication between techies and business leaders are often caused by misunderstanding. Listen in as Eyvonne, Tom, and Russ discuss these misunderstandings and how we can address them.
On the ‘net: Grey Failures and the Law of Large Numbers
You’ve just finished building a 1,000 router fabric using a proper underlay and overlay. You’ve thought of everything, including doing it all with a single SKU, carefully choosing transceivers, using only the best optical cables, and running all the software through a rigorous testing cycle. Time to relax? Perhaps—or perhaps not.
Upcoming Training: How the Internet Really Works
The 29th of May, in 7 days, I’m teaching a four-hour webinar/class on Safari Books Online:
This class isn’t just for network engineers, it’s for anyone interested in how the Internet works. You don’t need prior network engineering experience or knowledge to understand the content–so feel free to forward along to anyone you think might be interested, even managers (!) and coders.
Hedge 227: Provider Consolidation and Competition
Europe and the United States are completely different landscapes of Internet service providers. Which provides better service for customers, and which direction should these different markets go? Luke Kehoe joins Tom Ammon, Eyvonne Sharp, and Russ White to discuss the European market specifically, and why the European market needs consolidation.
Hedge 226: Making Networking Cool Again
Alexis Bertholf joins Tom Ammon and Russ White to discuss how we can make network engineering cool again—and to talk about how we got into network engineering.
Hedge 225: The CCNA
The CCNA has a long history as an important certification for network engineers. While the CCST has been created by Cisco “below” the CCNA, or as a different starting point, many network engineers begin their career with the CCNA. Join Jason Gooley, Wendell Odom, Tom, and Russ as we discuss the most recent updates to the CCNA, the way updates to the program are changing, and Jason’s and Wendell’s updated book on the CCNA.
Hedge 224: Is Open Source a Market Failure?
Is Open Source Software (OSS) a market failure? What does OSS add to the market that cannot be accomplished in other ways? What happened to the F (Free)? Join us for this roundtable episode of the Hedge.
