Building telemetry for tea aka Tealemetry
As a British person, I admittedly conform to the stereotype of tea consumption, and giving I’ve been consuming tea for most of my life I have gained opinions on all kinds of tea based variables. The bigge
New my.ipspace.net Design
During the last weeks I migrated the whole my.ipspace.net site (apart from the workgroup administration pages) to the new ipSpace.net design. Most of the changes should be transparent (apart from the pages looking better than before ;); I also made a few more significant changes:

Integration Of GNS3 with VM
There has been multiple query regarding the integration of GNS3 with VMWare , the goal of this Post is to help to get the users know the easy steps to integrate GNS3 with VM . This will not only help the user to practice CCNA,CCNP lab in GNS but also work with with network automation scenarios.
Lets start with downloading the GNS3 and corresponding GNS3 VM from GNS site.
Now you need to install VMWare Player , download the Vmware workstation Player 12 which i found to be compatible with GNS3 .The last item to download is VIX API , so in total we have downloaded 4 items as mentioned below with required links:
1)GNS3 èhttps://www.gns3.com/software
2) GNS3 VM(.ovo file)èhttps://www.gns3.com/software
3)Vmware workstation Player èhttps://filehippo.com/download_vmware-workstation-pro/68880/
4) VIX APi èhttps://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vix-api/Once VM Player is downloaded , need to open the GNS3 VM .ovo file and import it.
You can see GNS3 VM on Workstation player page as below
If You want to tweek the VM Memory, cpu that can too be done .
You can see the IP address obtained Continue reading
Containers and Serverless: It’s Not an Either/Or
The rise of Kubernetes has made containers a “have to have” at least in terms of future cloud plans, and serverless has quickly taken on the role of promising up-start.
BGP/DNS Hijacks Target Payment Systems
In April 2018, we detailed a brazen BGP hijack of Amazon’s authoritative DNS service in order to redirect users of a crypto currency wallet service to a fraudulent website ready to steal their money.
In the past month, we have observed additional BGP hijacks of authoritative DNS servers with a technique similar to what was used in April. This time the targets included US payment processing companies.
As in the Amazon case, these more recent BGP hijacks enabled imposter DNS servers to return forged DNS responses, misdirecting unsuspecting users to malicious sites. By using long TTL values in the forged responses, recursive DNS servers held these bogus DNS entries in their caches long after the BGP hijack had disappeared — maximizing the duration of the attack.
The Hijacks
At 23:37:18 UTC on 6 July 2018, Digital Wireless Indonesia (AS38146) announced the following prefixes for about thirty minutes. These prefixes didn’t propagate very far and were only seen by a handful of our peers.

Arista Lifts Its Mojo by Acquiring a Cognitive WiFi Company
At first blush, a WiFi acquisition seems a little far afield for a data center switching company. And Jefferies analyst George Notter expressed that same sentiment. But Arista makes a good argument for it.

Inadequate container security is increasingly leading to strikes related to ransomware, cryptomining, data theft, and service disruption attacks.
Show 401: A Deeper Understanding Of Free Range Routing (FRR)
Free Range Routing (FRR) is an open source routing project. It’s designed to provide a full routing stack that can run on top of a network OS. FRR is itself a fork from the Quagga routing project.
On today’s Weekly Show, recorded live from IETF 102, we talk with Donald Sharp to learn about FRR, understand its capabilities, and get an update on roadmap features.
We also get a behind-the-scenes look at how new features are chosen, architectural issues that can lead to performance bottlenecks (and how to overcome them), and the challenge of making a programmatic interface for a project that was not originally conceived with that in mind.
We also discuss open source communities–how to understand them, the sorts of people that are involved with them, and the role a developer plays vs. a product consumer.
Then we get specific as to how someone with no previous project involvement can vet the community, decide to become involved, and add value to the group at large–even if they aren t developers.
Donald Sharp is Principal Engineer at Cumulus Networks and a lead contributor to the FRR project.

Container Conference Presentation
This week, I did a presentation in Container Conference, Bangalore. The conference was well conducted and it was attended by 400+ quality attendees. I enjoyed some of the sessions and also had fun talking to attendees. The topic I presented was “Deep dive into Kubernetes Networking”. Other than covering Kubernetes networking basics, I also touched … Continue reading Container Conference Presentation

The one thing private equity firms typically overlook when funding startup WISPs…professional network engineers.
.
Funding a new WISP
There are a number of ways to fund a startup Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP), but the two we most commonly see as network engineering consultants at IP ArchiTechs are self funded by individuals/partners or by leveraging private equity (PE) money.
Private equity has become increasingly popular in the last few years if we are to use our consulting clients as a basis for comparison.
It’s not hard to see why, while you can (and many do) start a WISP on a shoestring budget, getting a significant chunk of initial funding to cover the costs of tower construction/leasing, network equipment, sales/marketing, etc is very attractive as it allows a WISP to build a network that might otherwise take several years of organic growth to achieve.
Network Engineering – the missing ingredient
Many startup WISPs are often borne out of necessity – fast, reliable or economical Internet access – one or more of these is missing in the areas we see WISPs develop.
Typically the stakeholders come from a variety of backgrounds some of which are technical and some aren’t – all of them, however, share a vision of building out Internet access and solving problems Continue reading
