Scouting around for things to do, T-Mobile US has published a new 5G consumer index and claims the moral high ground for not launching 5G networks before its rivals.
Opensource software depends on community contributions to projects, even projects maintained by organizations. Contributing back to a project improves the project for all.
In the first Network Collective Short Take of 2019 – Russ White sits down with Matt Oswalt to discuss his take on chaos engineering.
The post Short Take – Chaos Engineering appeared first on Network Collective.
Small update.
I was fortunate enough to be selected as a Cisco Champion for 2019. Looking forward to alot of good information and cooperation from the program!

Born in 1994, about the same time Tim Berners-Lee founded the World Wide Web Consortium and a commercialized Internet started to take form, the Internet has inextricably shaped my life and career.
At 16 years old, I got my first job at an Internet café. I had taught myself to type, and that was all I needed to teach people that they couldn’t just guess a password if they had not already set up an email account. Many young people in developing nations are still grappling to learn the computer (it’s Continue reading
My curiosity was piqued by an LWN article about IOCB_CMD_POLL - A new kernel polling interface. It discusses an addition of a new polling mechanism to Linux AIO API, which was merged in 4.18 kernel. The whole idea is rather intriguing. The author of the patch is proposing to use the Linux AIO API with things like network sockets.
Hold on. The Linux AIO is designed for, well, Asynchronous disk IO! Disk files are not the same thing as network sockets! Is it even possible to use the Linux AIO API with network sockets in the first place?
The answer turns out to be a strong YES! In this article I'll explain how to use the strengths of Linux AIO API to write better and faster network servers.
But before we start, what is Linux AIO anyway?
Linux AIO exposes asynchronous disk IO to userspace software.
Historically on Linux, all disk operations were blocking. Whether you did open()
, read()
, write()
or fsync()
, you could be sure your thread would stall if the needed data and meta-data was not ready in disk cache. This usually isn't Continue reading
Like any technology, ADCs solve problems while raising new challenges. ADCs effectively can eliminate many headaches, including those they create. Automation is one possible avenue toward doing that.

AT&T deploys white box cell-site routers in production; VMware CEO lists his top 3 priorities; Huawei's CFO is arrested.
Alphabet’s share of network and IT capex beat the two top cloud providers Amazon and Microsoft for the 12-month period ending Q3 2018.
William Plummer, Huawei’s former VP of external affairs, said that company needs to diversify its leadership and not solely rely on Chinese nationals in its relations with the U.S.
In the first post of this series at the turn of 2019, I considered the forces I think will cause network engineering to radically change. What about the timing of these changes? I hear a lot of people say” “this stuff isn’t coming for twenty years or more, so don’t worry about it… there is plenty of time to adapt.” This optimism seems completely misplaced to me. Markets and ideas are like that old house you pass all the time—you know the one. No-one has maintained it for years, but it is so … solid. It was built out of the best timber, by people who knew what they were doing. The foundation is deep, and it has lasted all these years.
Then one day you pass a heap of wood on the side of the road and realize—this is that old house that seemed so solid just a few days ago. Sometime in the night, that house that was so solid collapsed. The outer shell was covering up a lot of inner rot. Kuhn, in The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, argues this is the way ideas always go. They appear to be solid one day, and then Continue reading

Some sources told the Wall Street Journal that Ericsson and Nokia have been slow to capitalize on Huawei’s woes.
