The post Quantum Computing and the Future of Networking appeared first on Noction.
In this Network Collective Short Take, Bill Proctor from Viavi Solutions joins us to talk about how Viavi is optimizing network and application monitoring with the end result of reducing the amount of time it takes to resolve issues. Adding more metrics isn’t the answer. Analyzing and correlating these indicators and turning them into actionable information is the real challenge and Viavi is doing just that. Listen in to see how Viavi is using their innovative technology to empower engineers in resolving even the most challenging of issues.

We published Ansible modules for Extreme SLX devices earlier this year. Now we have modules covering all the main Extreme Switching & Routing product families - SLX, VDX, MLX, EXOS, VSP.
All modules are available in the current GA version of Ansible (2.7), except for voss_config
. That one proved a bit trickier for me to write, and I didn’t get it done in time for the 2.7 cutoff. That one is an open Pull Request against the Ansible devel
branch. That should get reviewed and merged soon. It will then make its way into the next GA release. You can of course use the code direct from my branch in the meantime.
All modules use the network_cli
plugin. See Platform Options for general information about how to use this connection type.

Congratulations to Michael Wong, CCIE #60064! And yes, you’re reading that right. Cisco has certified 30,000 new CCIEs in the last nine years. The next big milestone for CCIE nerds will be 65,536, otherwise known as CCIE 0x10000. How did we get here? And what does this really mean for everyone in the networking industry?
Before we get started here, a short disclaimer. I am currently on the Cisco CCIE Advisory Board for 2018 and 2019. My opinions here do not reflect those of Cisco, only me. No insider information has been used in the crafting of this post. Any sources are freely available or represent my own opinions.
Why the push for a certified workforce? It really does make sense when you look at it in perspective. More trained people means more people that know how to implement your system properly. More people implementing your systems means more people that will pick that solution over others when they’re offered. And that means more sales. And hopefully also less support time spent by your organization based on the trained people doing the job right in the first place.
You can’t fault people for wanting Continue reading
Next-generation cellular technology is knocking at your door. Are you ready to let it in?
In recent years Linux networking started evolving at an amazing pace. You can hear about all the cool new stuff at netdev conference… or listen to Episode 94 of Software Gone Wild to get a CliffsNotes version.
Roopa Prabhu, Jamal Hadi Salim, and Tom Herbert joined Nick Buraglio and myself and we couldn’t help diverging into the beauties of tc, and the intricacies of low-latency forwarding before coming back on track and started discussing cool stuff like:
