Welcome to Heavy Networking! In this episode we discuss LibreQoS, a free and open source software project to help ISPs improve network latency and responsiveness and improve the Quality of Experience (QoE) for their customers. That project is LibreQoS, and it's being used by ISPs and others to ensure stable latency across networks.

Data Processing Units (DPUs) describe the next generation of SmartNICs. They enhance the simple NIC with compute and memory and they have an operating system to host applications and APIs for system call offloads. DPUs can accelerate networking, security, and storage capabilities on servers while preserving CPU resources for applications. The Packet Pushers hosted a […]

When tackling technical projects, every organization needs a system to make decisions, resolve conflicts, and chart alternative paths when plans go awry. Effective escalation is key, but the prospect of escalation can make engineers anxious. We need to reframe our view of escalation as a tool to help move a project forward.
