Everything is in order for my trip to Cisco Live 2014 in San Francisco. Conference passes are purchased. Hotels are reserved. Flights are booked. It’s going to be a great event, and I can’t wait!
Note: My wife will be with me again this year, and she is trying to get a tour group going to look around the city while others are in sessions. If you want to be in on the tourist action, contact her via Twitter.
As per tradition (a new tradition, but a tradition nonetheless), here is my schedule for the week. Also as tradition, I’m bound to only do about 20% of what’s documented here. If you’ve ever been, you know what I mean. Here we go.

What is the value proposition of Standards in the age of Open Source?
I’ve been thinking about this question quite a bit over the last year [0] and interestingly a debate over just this issue has recently erupted in the blogosphere (and elsewhere). Vidya Narayanan, who reignited the discussion with her blog “Why I Quit Writing Internet Standards” [1], calls for a “radical restructuring” of the IETF, IEEE and what […]

Networking and the Consumption Model
I’ve talked with all kinds of IT professionals in the past year or so about building an organization of various IT disciplines that are truly service-oriented towards each other and to the other parts of the business. While I will never claim to be an expert in business development and will always claim allegiance to the nerdy technical bits, it’s easy to see the value in such an organizational model, and very interesting to explore the changes that technical people can make to push for such an approach. Let’s bring this down to earth a bit.
Compute
Server Virtualization is old news now, so lets go back about 15 years before it was even really on the scene. You’ve heard the arguments for server virtualization, and the description of this “ancient age” – servers were provisioned on a 1:1 basis with applications, they took weeks to provision or replace, and the capex/opex costs were way too high because on the one hand, the sheer amount of hardware necessary to run your apps was outrageously expensive, and on the other hand, the power and cooling required to constantly run them was no better.
Lets think about the kind of resources Continue reading

How does the internet work - We know what is networking
O men, when you start to write about BGP it is probably the time then you seriously start questioning yourself where did I go with myself. That is probably the moment in which you realize that there is a network geek sitting somewhere inside you. At least that is what happened to me when I […]

No matter how hard the clouderati click the heels of their brogues together and repeat “public cloud is better” , the simple fact is that most companies have large amounts of IT infrastructure that works just fine and is profitable. To make matters worse, the cost of transformation exceeds the potential financial return while creating […]

Network Namespace Provisioning
I’d written previously on how to use OpenContrail with Linux network namespaces. I managed to find the cycles to put together a configuration wrapper that can be used as a pre-start and post-stop scripts when starting a daemon out of init.d. The scripts are in a python package available in github.
As in the previous post, the test application i used was the apache web server. But most Linux services follow a rather similar pattern when it comes to their init scripts.
I started by installing two bare metal servers with the OpenContrail community packages; one server running the configuration service and both of them running both control-node and compute-node components.
For this exercise, the objective was to be able to select the routing for the outbound traffic for a specific application. For this purpose, I started by creating two virtual-networks, one used for incoming traffic and separate one to be used for outbound traffic for a specific application. The script network_manage.py can be used for this purpose; it can create and delete virtual-networks as well as add and delete external route targets.
After creating an inbound and app-specific outbound networks, one can use the netns-daemon-start script to create Continue reading
Show 186 – The Silicon Inside Your Network Device – Part 1
This is Part 1 in a special series looking at the inside of your network device. Although software will be at heart of network innovation, it will still run on hardware and it’s time to expose the internals of our network hardware and understand the hardware architecture inside a typical device. Many people are surprised […]

Brocade Vyatta & Forwarding Performance on X86 Server
It's a constant and oft repeated fallacy that software on x86 servers will never forward packets at speed. Here is Vyatta explaining why their software will be able to go past 100 Million Packets Per Second this year on standard COTS hardware.

Why Internet Standards are Still Important
Vidya Narayana, in a piece at Gigaom, said recently: So, why did I actually stop contributing to standards definitions? The primary one is the fact that while the pace at which standards are written hasn’t changed in many years, the pace at which the real world adopts software has become orders of magnitude faster. Standards, unfortunately, […]
