It’s been almost 25 long years since I started my bachelor’s degree, some 17 years since I began my master’s degree, and around 15 years since I decided to leave a Ph.D. scholarship behind and go back to full-time professional work. Many things have changed, yet one thing has remained the same: the race among […]

They say you should work smarter, not harder. We agree, which is why we’ll be showcasing work at MWC 2023 that brings efficiency and intelligence to modern networking designed to help businesses thrive in the digital era through telco-friendly, smarter networking solutions.
Keep reading for a preview of what to expect from the VMware Networking and Security team at the event – and join us in person in Hall 3, stand 3M11, to check out the latest innovations in cloud networking and security for yourself.
The overall vision that we’ll be displaying in Barcelona at Mobile World Congress from February 27 to March 2 focuses on two key concepts – increasing network efficiency and generating value through smart networking solutions.
Specifically, we’ll be displaying:
This weekend I was listening to the latest episode of the Art of Network Engineering podcast featuring Russ White. Russ is one of those guests that has a breadth of knowledge outside of technology that colors the way he looks at things in the realm of enterprise IT. Plus he’s a fun interview.
One of the questions he asked was around the idea of technical MBAs. For those that might not know, MBA stands for Masters of Business Administration, which is a post-graduate college business degree. An MBA is widely regarded as a way to put yourself on a track to be a manager for a company in some capacity. An MBA is punching a ticket to be a future CEO. Why does it seem like the number of MBAs coming out of prestigious business schools don’t have a technical background then?
I’m going to quote liberally from a book I’ve been reading called The Personal MBA by Josh Kaufman. In it, Kaufman lays out the reasoning behind using his book to study the principles behind the information given in MBA classes instead of spending $200,000 to go to a business school for two years for Continue reading
A heavy netlab user sent me an email along these lines:
We’re running multiple labs in parallel on the same server, and we’re experiencing all sorts of clashes like overlapping management IP addresses. We “solved” that by using static device identifiers in our labs, but I’m wondering if there’s a better way of doing it?
That’s exactly the sort of real-life challenges I love working on, so it wasn’t hard to get me excited, and the results are bundled in netlab release 1.5.
One of the best descriptions of what ChatGPT does and what it cannot do I found so far comes from an ancient and military historian. The what is ChatGPT and what is an essay parts are a must-read, the preparing to be disrupted conclusion is pure gold:
I do think there are classrooms that will be disrupted by ChatGPT, but those are classrooms where something is already broken.
I can’t help but think of the never-ending brouhaha about exam brain dumps.
Welcome to Heavy Networking! In this episode we discuss LibreQoS, a free and open source software project to help ISPs improve network latency and responsiveness and improve the Quality of Experience (QoE) for their customers. That project is LibreQoS, and it's being used by ISPs and others to ensure stable latency across networks.

Data Processing Units (DPUs) describe the next generation of SmartNICs. They enhance the simple NIC with compute and memory and they have an operating system to host applications and APIs for system call offloads. DPUs can accelerate networking, security, and storage capabilities on servers while preserving CPU resources for applications. The Packet Pushers hosted a […]

DNS over HTTPS, or DoH, is designed to protect the end user’s DNS queries from last mile providers—but recursive servers (or resolvers) also have full access to what a user is asking for. How can users preserve their privacy against data collection at recursive servers? ODoH provides one answer. Listen in as Tom Ammon, Chris Wood, and Russ White discuss how ODoH works, and what this means for user privacy.
