Managing Network Sprawl
Organizations rely on a growing number of networks on-premises and in the cloud, creating a daunting responsibility for network engineers.
Ring Message Bus on RS-232
After I completed the LAN-over-RS-232 project, it was obvious (well, not in retrospect) that the solution to every problem must be Z80 computers connected with some crazy RS-232 wiring. A few years later we had to write an application to support rally races. Guess what the solution was ;)
Datanauts 046: Business Critical Applications with Michael Webster
Designing for business critical applications takes some special consideration. On todays Datanauts, we define what a business critical application is, and then sort out how, exactly, to deal with them from an infrastructure perspective. Insert your earbuds to hear Michael Webster from Nutanix chat through this discussion with co-hosts Chris Wahl and Ethan Banks. The post Datanauts 046: Business Critical Applications with Michael Webster appeared first on Packet Pushers.Juniper vMX Lab Setup on VMware
How does Internet work - We know what is networking
This is a description on how to deploy a Juniper LAB of 8 vMX routers and making a simple topology in VMware vSphere environment. vMX is Juniper’s virtual production router so this could be the same procedure for deploying vMX device in production except different number of routers and their interconnection with vSwitch setup. As you might have seen from my previous post, I’m trying to get into Juniper configuration lately. One of the things that I needed is to set up a simple lab running Juniper vMX machines with multicast forwarding enabled. It was a simple lab experiment with few commands on each device.
Label Switched Multicast — Ethernet Header
I got an interesting email from Ying Lu who had read my posts on LSM: I am curious about the Ethernet DA and codepoint used for multicast MPLS. Previously, I understand that: Ethernet DA is unicast MAC of nexthop of each replication leg. codepoint is 0x8847 However, looking at RFC5332, I am not so sure… Quote: “Ethernet is an example of a multipoint-to-multipoint data link. Ethertype 0x8847 is used whenever a unicast ethernet frame carries an MPLS packet.Intel to Acquire Deep Learning Startup Nervana
