Network Admin in Cary NC
I’m helping a company (as a favor) that’s looking for a network administrator in the Cary, NC area. The company is moving from another area, and hence rebuilding their office and backend systems.

RFCs You Should Know: 6250
Most RFCs are deeply technical — and they follow the “Yaakov rule” for intelligibility (if you didn’t write it, or you didn’t sit with one of the authors in a bar someplace to talk about it, you can’t understand it), there are a few here and there every network engineer should know. RFC 6250 is […]

Common Network Design Concepts Part-2
In the first article of this series, reliability and resiliency has been explained.

Show 203 – SDN Policy + Congress with Martin Casado & Tim Hinrichs
This week, the Packet Pushers chat with Martin Casado & Tim Hinrichs about policy. What's policy, you ask? In the context of the software defined data center, policy is the big idea that what an IT system needs to do can be expressed in an abstract policy language. The need for abstraction exists because human beings aren't easily able to tell machines explicitly what they need to do build a system that conforms to a given policy.
