Broadcom’s Trident II Gets a VXLAN Booster
Broadcom is announcing a new version of its Trident II Ethernet switch chip family today, with one notable feature being improved performance for VXLAN and other tunneling protocols. The StrataXGS Trident-II+, a drop-in replacement for the Trident II, arrives as Broadcom tries to spread its Ethernet switch franchise into new areas. The recently announced StrataDNX Read more >
Junos export policy not working?
During a project recently, I was promptly reminded about the construction of Junos route export (i.e. route redistribution) policies. Specifically when filtering prefixes during the export/redistribution. The logic goes something like this:
a) Create prefix-list of prefixes to export
b) Create policy which references the protocol and prefix list to export
c) Attach policy to protocol
An example is here:
policy-options {
prefix-list CUST_A {
192.0.2.1/32;
}
policy-statement REDISTRIBUTE_STATICS_CUST_A {
/* FROM PREFIX-LIST TEST TO METRIC TYPE 1 FOR CUST A */
term 1 {
from {
prefix-list CUST_A;
}
to protocol ospf2;
then {
external {
type 1;
}
accept;
}
}
}
}
protocols {
ospf {
export REDISTRIBUTE_STATICS_CUST_A
area 0.0.0.0 {
interface x-x/x/x.x
}
}
}
With Junos export policies for routing, if you want to export more prefixes of the same type, adding an additional policy which also references the same protocol for the export will just not work. If you do the below, then you’re out of luck.
policy-options {
prefix-list CUST_A {
192.0.2.1/32;
}
prefix-list CUST_B {
192.0.2.2/32;
}
policy-statement REDISTRIBUTE_STATICS_CUST_A {
/* FROM PREFIX-LIST TEST TO METRIC TYPE 1 Continue reading
HTIRW: Reality at the Mic (3)
Let’s take one look back over the IETF before we move on to the next piece of the infrastructure of the ‘net. Why does it take so long for a single document to get through the process, and result in a standard? There is, of course, the formal process, which requires the document to proposed, […]

What is the real reason behind IP and MPLS Traffic Engineering ?
MPLS traffic engineering has many use cases and it helps to solve the problems in an MPLS enabled networks. These use cases are in general; QoS guarantee, End to End SLA , Fast reroute, Admission control and so on. All of them at the end is done for the COST SAVING. The real reason behind MPLS Traffic… Read More »

When Did SDN Really Start?
You might remember my blog post claiming we had a system with SDN-like properties more than 20 years ago.
It turns out SDN is older than that – Rob Faulds found an old ComputerWorld ad from 1989 promoting AT&T SDN service, and it seems SDN was in operation as early as 1985.
Cisco Meraki
Cisco acquired Meraki at the end of 2012. I have heard a lot about Meraki and I recently tried to dig deep into what they do. This blog is a result of that. What does Meraki do? Meraki does cloud managed access devices for the edge market. Their primary focus is small/medium enterprises. Meraki now has … Continue reading Cisco Meraki

What’s Possible
I just read story on Medium. It’s a great use of Social Media to achieve something truly useful.
I wish more people would think differently in my line of work. Some days the resounding echoes of “we’ve always done it this way” really give me a headache.
