War stories on EIGRP Stuck In Active.

In the first part of his interview with Christoph Jaggi Kristian Larsson talked about the basics of CI testing. Now let’s see how you can use these concepts in network automation (and you’ll learn way more in Kristian’s talk on April 9th… if you register for our network automation course).
How does CI testing fit into an overall testing environment?
Traditionally, in particular in the networking industry, it's been rather common to have proof of concepts (POC) delivered by vendors for various networking technologies and then people have sat down and manually tested that the POC meets some set of requirements.

We’ve given up the old apartment in San Francisco for a larger, nicer house…for a lot less in rent. A lot fewer bars & restaurants, a lot more trees, parks and lakes.
The typical Bay Areas response is: “But why??? It rains all the time in the Pacific Northwest!!!!”
A few things:
1. Yes, it rains more here than San Francisco, but not as much as people think. It’s not even in the top 10 cities in the US for annual rainfall. Boston, New York, Washington DC all receive more.
2. Rain is OK. In fact rain is good. You don’t get lush forests through irrigation. You also don’t get clean streets just from street sweepers.
The main attractions for us are:
Much better lifestyle for us. It’s easy to go mountain biking, running, hiking, skiing here.
Much lower rent. Yes, rents have gone up a lot here, but it’s still much better value than San Francisco. I pay much less rent here, but I get a nice place, and the Continue reading

I don’t belong to any DevOps space but I keep hearing things like Docker / kubernetes and what not. I Quickly wanted to see what these are capable of and if I can use them to my advantage so that later I can see the use case for networking.
Docker so far seems to be far more capable and am enjoying it. Thanks to one of my friends who suggested this wonderful Repo, monitoring my server has been more granular.
I will have a detailed post on Juniper MX image via docker but for now, I have used it for something out of networking space to serve a small purpose.

This what Netdata UI looks like while monitoring my server, this is really wonderful as for the long time I was trying to implement many Monitoring systems and most of them required some dedicated hardware or at least a Vmware spin-off instance, which is fine for me I suppose but I wanted something small and yet effective.
Netdata operates on port 19999 of localhost and should be reachable via any web-browser.
I made a small cronjob which starts this instance on every reboot.
Installation is pretty straight forward, Continue reading

Your job search can feel like a movie you’ve seen over and over. The same thing seems to happen every time. You get motivated to finally start looking for a new job. You hunt around the internet and make a list of intriguing jobs. You start imagining yourself getting out of your current job. You start applying, there’s progress, you get some call backs, maybe you even go on-site to interview a few times. There’s a Continue reading

I was just about to finish another blog post on MPLS when I got a question from a colleague about Junos routing tables. He was confused as to how to interpret the output of a basic Juniper routing table. I spent some time trying to find some resource to point him at – and was amazed at how hard it was to find anything that answered his questions specifically. Sure, there are lots of blogs and articles that explain RIB/FIB separation, but I couldn’t find any that backed it up with examples and the level of detail he was looking for. So while this is not meant to be exhaustive – I hope it might provide you some details about how to interpret the output of some of the more popular show
commands. This might be especially relevant for those of you who might be coming from more of a Cisco background (like myself a number of years ago) as there are significant differences between the two vendors in this area.
Let’s start with a basic lab that looks a lot like the one I’ve been using in the previous MPLS posts…
For the sake of focusing on the real Continue reading
This is a guest post by Jamie Mason, who is the Head of Test Servers at SamKnows. This post originally appears on the SamKnows Megablog.
We leveraged Cloudflare Workers to expand the SamKnows measurement infrastructure.
At SamKnows, we run lots of tests to measure internet performance. Actually, that’s an understatement. Our software is embedded on tens of millions of devices, and that number grows daily.
We measure performance between the user’s home and the internet, across dozens of metrics. Some of these metrics measure the performance of major video-streaming services, popular games, or large websites. Others focus on the more traditional ‘quality of service’ metrics: speed, latency, and packet loss.
In order to measure speed, latency, and packet loss, SamKnows needs test servers to carry out the measurements against. These servers should be relatively near to the user’s home - this ensures that we’re measuring solely the user’s internet connection (i.e. what their Internet Service Provider sells them) and not some external factor.
As a result, we manage high-capacity test servers all over the world. Some are donated by research groups, some we host ourselves in major data centers, and still others are run inside ISPs’ own networks.
