Yet Another blog about Segment Routing -Part2 : TI-LFA

So finally got some time after a while to write something. In this post we will be looking at Topology Independent LFA aka TI-LFA. We will also compare TI-LFA with LFA, rLFA and TE-FRR. If you don’t already have familiarity with LFA’s or TE-FRR then take a look at my previous posts on TE design […]

Docker Experimental Networking – 1

Networking support in Docker was primitive till now. Single host connectivity was through Linux bridge and there was no native mechanism to connect Containers across hosts. With Pipework, we could do a hacky approach to connect Containers across hosts. Companies like Socketplane, Weave have been working to address this Networking gap. I have written multiple … Continue reading Docker Experimental Networking – 1 →

MikroTik CCR1072-1G-8S+ Review (Part 2) – BGP Performance *** Preview ***

Part 2 is on the way!

It has been a busy week and we have been working hard on CCR1072 testing. The full review for BGP Performance is still a few days away, but here is a sneak preview of some of the testing in the IP ArchiTechs Area 51 Lab.

We put just under 1.7 Million routes across 4 BGP peers into the CCR1072-1G-8S+ and it was fully converged in 2 Minutes and 42 seconds.

Here is a screen shot of the CCR1072-1G-8S+ after converging with 4 full feeds.

PlexxiPulse—Switches for Next Generation Networks

The next era of IT is being forged by the evolution of virtualization, hyperconvergence, Big Data and scale-out applications. Here at Plexxi, we’re developing technology to ensure our customers are ready for that evolution. This week, we announced the launch of our new Switch 2 Series, which emphasizes applications over infrastructure. Switch 2 consolidates the network into a single tier, optimized for east/west application traffic, while eliminating the need for multiple switch types found in traditional leaf/spine architectures.

Our technology allows enterprises and government agencies to move beyond the static networks of the past to create the industry’s first converged, agile and dynamic offering for third platform networks. Utilization of our switches lowers CapEx and OpEx, reduces network complexity, improves security and increases productivity, all critical characteristics of networks needed to support unprecedented amounts of data. Our own Director of Solutions Marketing, Bob Noel, blogged about the launch and its importance to the industry and how it relates to Plexxi’s vision earlier this week. Check out just some of the coverage of our announcement and its impact on the industry below.

Have a great weekend!
