72% of Networking Performance Statistics Are Misleading
Like my tongue-in-cheek title, performance statistics are often misleading or, at best, meaningless without context. As a savvy consumer of any networking product, you should look at performance statistics as little more than a rough indicator of how a { box | software package | interface } performed under a specific test circumstance. Hint: the tests are usually rigged.IF { you like this blog } THEN { donate to my annual charitable campaign }
I am raising money for the Mt. Washington Observatory (MWO), a non-profit organization engaged in weather research in New Hampshire. I am joining the 15th annual Seek The Peak fundraiser for the MWO. The idea is simple: hike to the summit, with pledgers backing the adventure. If you've gotten value from the Packet Pushers podcast or this blog, I'd appreciate it if you'd donate to my Seek the Peak campaign. For the first three networking vendors that donate $1,000 or more, I'll have my picture taken at the Mt. Washington summit sign with your wearable and thank you in a blog post here.Show 239 – Design & Build #2 – A New Network From Scratch

PQ 50 – Network Service Header (NSH) Deep Dive & Use Cases
On this Packet Pushers Priority Queue episode, we chat with Cisco's Jim Guichard & Paul Quinn about the topic of Network Service Header (NSH). What is NSH meant to be? What might we use NSH for? What will it take to make NSH a widely adopted reality? This is a follow up to Show 238, where Greg was not feeling the NSH magic. The plan was to show Greg the light. Did Jim & Paul succeed?

Introducing the Citizens of Tech Podcast
Citizens of Tech is not a show about gadgets and apps, at least not specifically. It's not a show about networking. It's not a constipated show about IT. Rather, it's a show for nerds who like science, gaming, books, contrarian thinking, entertainment, space exploration, transportation, energy, complex world problems, and anything else that's somehow technology-related. Sure, that might include gadgets, apps, IT, and so on, but we're trying to appeal to a certain kind of mind -- probably yours -- and not a certain kind of industry.Citizens of Tech 003 – Racing Cricket Phone Turbines
Eric in a mitre. Cricket protein. Micro wind turbines. Stash your cash. Blue crude. RF into power. Wikimedia's money. Carly for POTUS. A racing simulator that can kill you. All this and more on this week's Citizens of Tech.
