One of my readers listened to a podcast where a $vendor described how they found another use case for source routing IPv6 segment routing (SR): 5G networks… and wondered whether SR made a comeback or is about to.
To figure out what segment routing is, watch the webinar we did with Jeff Tantsura a while ago.
I don’t know nearly enough about mobile networks to have an opinion, however…

For a time, I was the designated dumb person who managed a Lotus Bloody Notes deployment. This includes the server and desktop application plus a range of internal developed apps. But mostly it was an really poor attempt at an email solution. The ‘bloody’ is my way of being polite It was horrible. Everything about […]

In the latest Network Break, Network Break 213 from Packet Pushers, they discussed some of the latest news in networking, such as Amazon Outpost. With the rise of SaaS applications, the questions was also raised, do I even need a WAN?
Let’s assume you are running Office365. Your e-mail and office application is in the cloud. You are using Salesforce for your CRM. You ERP is also cloud-hosted. You’ve moved pretty much all of your previously internal apps to the cloud. Do you still need a WAN? I would argue yes. Considering all the applications mentioned previously have been moved, what do we still have left?
All though we’ve been talking about paperless societies for ages, have you ever seen an office environment without a printer? Neither have I. Your printers likely need to reach a print server. Do you have Active Directory? Would you be comfortable putting it entirely in the cloud? How do you provision PC images? Do you use something like SCCM? Do you have lighting, doors, larms etc that are connected to the network? Are all of your stored files in the cloud? Probably not depending on how sensitive they are. Do your offices Continue reading
As the uncertainty around Cisco’s Viptela integration lifted last quarter, the enterprise access router market saw its first quarter of growth in five quarters.

BlueCat Networks offers a free add-on product to their DDI (DNS, DHCP, IPAM) product called Gateway. Gateway is a platform customers can use to create their own custom APIs that make sense for their business. Put another way, Gateway provides a REST API endpoint for other applications within the business to talk to. That makes for some interesting workflow capabilities.

The year-old startup, founded by former Intel president Renee James, is also partnering with Packet, Cloudflare, and other companies on 5G and edge computing proof of concepts.
Sprint names its first 5G markets for 2019; Telco Systems and Arm work on uCPE; and IBM sells software assets to HCL Technologies for $1.8 billion.
Both FirstNet and 5G require the company to "touch the towers," so a lot of the network upgrades help both initiatives.
As most know, Cumulus Linux was originally intended for data center switching and routing but over the years, our customer base has requested that we expand into the enterprise campus feature set too. Slowly, we’ve done just that.
With this expansion though, there are a few items that IT managers tend to take for granted in an all Cisco environment that may need some extra attention when using Cumulus Linux as a campus switch. This is especially the case when it comes to IEEE 802.1x, desk phones, etc.
Most of the phones we inter-operate with have been of the Cisco variety and quite often, those phones are connected to Cisco switches. There are a few tweaks from the default Cumulus settings that need to be called out in this environment and we’ll now go over what those are and how you can tweek them.
Cisco IP phones may revert to a different VLAN after initial negotiation. One of our enterprise customers found that according to a Cisco tech note on LLDP-MED and CDP, CDP should be disabled on non-Cisco switches connecting to Cisco phones.
To eliminate this behavior, make the following adjustment to the Continue reading
