PQ 152: An IETF Update On RIFT, BIER, SD-WAN And More
Today, an update on some compelling projects at IETF 102. Ours guest are Jeff Tantsura and Russ White.
We review the following projects to see what’s new and understand what problems they’re solving:
- RIFT (Routing In Fat Trees)
- BIER (Bit Indexed Explicit Replication)
- PPR (Preferred Path Routing)
- YANG data modeling
We also look at the state of SD-WAN, which is a bit of the Wild West, to look at standards and interoperability efforts underway.
Jeff is the Head of Technology Strategy at Nuage Networks. He’s also deeply involved with the IETF as the Chair of Routing Area Working Group, the Chair of Routing In Fat Trees, a Member of Internet Architecture Board, and a Member of IP Stack Evolution.
Jeff has recorded with us several times before, most recently on Priority Queue 126, where Greg chatted with Jeff about the future of data center fabrics. Jeff, welcome back to Packet Pushers.
Russ White is a network architect, author, and blogger. Rush also chairs the Interface to Routing System and the Babel routing protocol efforts at the IETF, and is a reviewer in the IETF’s Routing Area Directorate.

Take a Network Break! Today we’re joined by guest John Fruehe. Amazon sent shock waves through the networking industry on rumors it might sell whitebox switches to the enterprise. The cloud giant says it has no current plans, but we examine other ways AWS might get into your network.
AWS adds EC2 instances to its Snowball edge storage device, and Big Switch Networks rolls out new software to enable VPC-like networking in your private data center.
A British government agency dings Huawei on national security, Deutsche Telekom joins Linux Foundation Networking, and Cato Networks adds identity routing to its SD-WAN offering.
Last but not least, Cisco releases more than two dozen security advisories, and Microsoft rakes in the money in its fourth quarter and fiscal 2018 financial reports.

Today, we talk to network architect Andrey Khomyakov, who s helped his organization make the transition from traditional to open networking in production.
What s it like to disaggregate switch hardware from network operating system? Was it hard? Does it really work? What s support like? Was any money saved? Will I get fired for suggesting my company go the open networking route? Andrey will answer these and more questions.
Pete Lumbis, long time friend of the Packet Pushers and contributor to the networking community, also joins with some of his insights learned in his role at Cumulus Networks. This is not a sponsored show. We just want to share the real-world experience of going new-school disaggregation with your networking.
We’ll look at the distinctions between open networking, disaggregation, and whitebox. We’ll also look at day-to-day operations with whitebox, common problems, how to choose a whitebox, and more.

I broadly consider Gluware an automation engine that can deliver effective automation inside an brownfield network. That is, its multi-vendor, multi-technology (e.g. switches / firewalls, routers, QOS,) and works with the existing tooling such as CLI. So you don’t have to buy new hardware to start the SDN process. Thats a useful way to start […]

You ve got your traditional on-premises network. You know how it works. Lots of manual configuration and ticket-y stuff to get the job done when someone needs something.
And then you ve got your cloud network. You don t worry about that one as much. The devs provision what they need automatically, hitting APIs as they go, and you keep tabs on things from a watchful distance, helping out as needed.
What if you could operate your on-premises network like you do your public cloud network? What if your hybrid cloud was operationally consistent? Today on the Datanauts, sponsor Big Switch Networks makes some pretty big hybrid cloud networking announcements, and we quiz them on the why and how.
Our guest is Kyle Forster, founder of Big Switch.
We talk about Big Switch’s new products, including the ability to create an on-premises VPC within Big Switch’s data center fabric. The goal is to provide the same operational constructs within your own data center as you’d get in a public cloud like AWS, Azure, or Google.
