Make Like A Tree And Branch Out
Alright, so you’ve decided to branch out and you may be wondering what else you can do to help things along. You can always try your friendly neighborhood blog or message board, but there’s always the problem of whether or not you’re getting good information.

Don’t Do Anything Twice
Hello, and welcome to my first blog post! Today I’ll be talking automation and why we automate things, including the simplest response of “it’s more interesting than doing the same thing 15 times a day”. That seems like such a simple thing to say, but it’s boring to do the same thing every day. It […]

Why The Industry Needs An Open Source Framework For Switching Silicon
Howdy. Occasionally the topic of open sourcing a driver, library, or SDK to a commodity product comes up as more developers start working on/deploying said product. Typically, the vendor makes a concession and opens up the documentation to increase adoption and supportability. Sometimes this works. Sometimes, it just pisses off the developers to such an […]

In the last blog we looked at PCE for centralized path-computation and PCEP as a communication protocol between PCE and PCC.We also looked at brief demo of PCE sending ERO’s (IP or SR Node labels) to the PCC(Head end). In this Blog post we will particularly try to focus at Traffic Engineering (SR-TE) aspects of […]

Network Design – Where Should I Start?
After listening to a recent Packet Pushers podcast, the question was raised about network design and where the network design should start. When I first started designing IT, I believed the correct starting point was to define the required outcome through the deployment of technology. For example, the requirement from the customer could be to […]

Break Those Chains
So because I’m new to this whole blogging at Packet Pushers thing (and blogging in general), I’ve been trying to decide on my place in the grand scheme of things. There are a lot of folks here that do a great job of deep-dives, vendor happenings, and general overviews. I could do those, but what’s the point of rehashing what this site and 100s of others (Google FTW) do?

My Cookie Tracking Gripes
I’ve noticed recently a lot of annoying ads following me around on the Internet. Not just showing up every so often in the browser side panel, but some embedded deep within the pages I’m viewing, making them very difficult to ignore. Often the ads are for something I’ve already bought or something I’ve decided not […]

Learning QoS from RFCs
One of the things I insist on is learning the theory or concepts behind the technologies, rather than just learning how to configure the technology. This is often more difficult than it seems, though, because it’s hard to find (and often read) the documents that describe the technology — they’re often written in a language […]
