CCIE RS – it’s the payload, not the header
There is some actual content here, but first – a few drips of sap. The title is a nerdy rendering of the adage ‘its the journey, not the destination’. The decision to take time from study and blog had to do with this very thing – reserving time for reflection along the way. While taking […]

Improving Mean Time To Innocence With ThousandEyes
In the case of troubleshooting poor performance for an off-site application, improving mean time to innocence is really important. Businesses need to understand whether the problem is in the local infrastructure, in the remote cloud, or somewhere in the middle. This is not especially easy to track down by hand. Manual traceroutes, simple ping tests, and DNS resolution checks are most of what can be done with the average workstation, but in fact there is a great deal more information that is publicly accessible.

HTIRW: Reality at the Mic (3)
Let’s take one look back over the IETF before we move on to the next piece of the infrastructure of the ‘net. Why does it take so long for a single document to get through the process, and result in a standard? There is, of course, the formal process, which requires the document to proposed, […]

RFCs You Should Know: 5218
Quite often RFCs in the “earlier days” discussed not only process but also design. Looking back now, considering the complexity of the network engineering world, these RFCs might seem even a little trite. But these “architectural RFCs” often still carry thoughts and records of experience that are important, even if they aren’t so much followed […]

Smarter Hosts Would Make A Simpler Network
(or Magical Things I Would Do if Hosts Weren’t Stupid) Introduction I’m a firm believer that many of the apparent problems in networking today are caused by stupid hosts. The hosts are stupid and, we are told, cannot be fixed. Instead, we are forced to add on more and more “intelligence” to the network. This […]
