Cavium & Pica8 Combine ASIC & Network Operating System
Cavium’s ASIC chip and Pica8’s software could grab some market share from Broadcom.

The Numerous Levels of SDN Reality
A newbie exploring the mythical lands of SDN might decide to start at the ONF definition of SDN, which currently (November 2015) starts with a battle cry:
The physical separation of the network control plane from the forwarding plane, and where a control plane controls several devices.
The rest of that same page is what I’d call the marketing definition of SDN: directly programmable, agile, centrally managed, programmatically configured, open standards based and vendor-neutral.

In the world of network engineering, learning a new syntax can challenging especially if you need a lot of detail quickly. The command structure for RouterOS can be a bit challenging sometimes if you are used to Cisco CLI commands. Most of us that have been in networking for a while got our start with Cisco gear and so it is helpful to draw comparisons between the commands, especially if you are trying to build a network with a MikroTik and Cisco router.
This is the first post in a series I’ve wanted to do for a while that creates a Rosetta stone essentially between IOS and RouterOS. We plan to tackle a number of other command comparisons like OSPF, MPLS and VLANs to make it easier for network engineers trained in Cisco IOS to successfully implement MikroTik / RouterOS devices. While many commands have almost the exact same information, others are as close as possible. Since there isn’t always an exact match, sometimes you may have to run two or three commands to get the information needed.

Kubernetes: Basic Concepts
I have been diving into Kubernetes lately, for both personal and $dayjob reasons. With the combined effect of my attendance at a recent Kubernetes workshop by Kelsey Hightower (on his very last day at CoreOS no less!) and also having the amazing opportunity to attend the inaugural and sold-out Kubecon that starts today, I figured it’s high time I tackle a “basics of Kubernetes” post.
This blog post is meant to serve as a very high-level introduction to Kubernetes concepts and components. If you are looking to stand up your own cluster, I encourage you to read the exceptional Kubernetes documentation. No, really. They’re exceptionally good docs.
Scheduling 101
Within the context of computer operating systems, the “scheduler” is the component that manages the assignment of compute resources to running processes. Especially in the early days before parallel computing and multicore systems, it was crucial to very carefully manage how much CPU time was allowed for the various running processes, so that the user could have a seamless experience. Even today with multicore systems, this is important to ensure that each core is utilized as evenly as possible, or at least to meet certain SLA requirements.
