Design & Build Podcast Series Wants You
If you have an interesting network project you're willing to talk about on the Packet Pushers Weekly show, please e-mail [email protected]. Describe the project, and I'll see if we can create a "design & build" show around it.

Fun with GRE and HSRP
I recently came across a design in which GRE tunnels were built utilizing HSRP VIP addresses. At first I was unsure of how well this would work so as usual I decided to lab it up. It turns out that this is an excellent counter design to having to place metrics or do any type […]

While SDN automates network configuration, it's not a replacement for network or application performance monitoring tools. In fact, monitoring tools are likely to become more capable as software-driven data streams flow in from all parts of the data center.

Datacenter Vanity
I’ve been noticing a trend recently in enterprise networking where managers and engineers alike are more concerned (obsessed) with the physical appearance of their rack, wires, and network equipment than they are with the actual pragmatic design and stability of said network. Approx Reading Time: 3-5 Minutes A Little is Good Now a certain amount […]

Risky Business #394 — Matthew Green talks “crypto bans”
On this week's show we're chatting with Johns Hopkins University cryptographer Matthew Green about rumblings emanating out of DC with regard to "stopping encryption", whatever the hell that means.
In this week's sponsor interview we're chatting with Oliver Fay from Context about a paper they did in conjunction with UK's CERT about exploit kits. How much do they cost? Are there any that stick out as being particularly good? Or bad, depending on your point of view...
Links to everything are in this week's show notes.
