Continuing the how real is the decade-old SDN hype thread, let’s try to figure out if anyone still uses OpenFlow. OpenFlow was declared dead by the troubadour of the SDN movement in 2016, so it looks like the question is moot. However, nothing ever dies in networking (including hop-by-hop IPv6 extension headers), so here we go.
Ignoring for the moment the embarrassing we solved the global load balancing with per-flow forwarding academic blunders1, OpenFlow wasn’t the worst tool for programming forwarding exceptions (ACL/PBR) into TCAM.
Hello my friend,
Maintaining application in Linux may be a challenging task, especially when you have a lot of them running on a single host. One of the problems contributing to it is a dependencies management. OpenStack, in its turn, consists of a huge amount of services, which needs to run together. Containers help to solve the problem of a dependencies’ management, and, therefore, helps to setup OpenStack. In this video you will learn how that happens

Inventories are generally hard, and hence don’t tend to be where you’d like to spend your time. The importance of having a good inventory, however, can hardly be overstated. Malcom Booden joins Tom Ammon and Russ White to talk about the importance of inventories and inventory ideas.
The philosophy behind this series is start small and build. With that in mind, I'm going to start with just two EVPN peers, supporting a couple of customer VLANs.
In principle, L2VNI is very similar to the static VXLAN we saw in post 1 of this series. It consists of a Layer 2 segment that can be stretched Continue reading
Before we dive into my experience interning at Cloudflare, let me quickly introduce myself. I am currently a master’s student at the National University of Singapore (NUS) studying Computer Science. I am passionate about building software that improves people’s lives and making the Internet a better place for everyone. Back in December 2021, I joined Cloudflare as a Software Development Intern on the Partnerships team to help improve the experience that Partners have when using the platform. I was extremely excited about this opportunity and jumped at the prospect of working on serverless technology to build viable tools for our partners and customers. In this blog post, I detail my experience working at Cloudflare and the many highlights of my internship.
The process began for me back when I was taking a software engineering module at NUS where one of my classmates had shared a job post for an internship at Cloudflare. I had known about Cloudflare’s DNS service prior and was really excited to learn more about the internship opportunity because I really resonated with the company's mission to help build a better Internet.
I knew right away that this would be a great opportunity and submitted Continue reading
Even though Gartner declared SDN obsolete before plateau in their 2021 Networking Hype Cycle, most vendor marketers never got the memo. Anything that interacts with network devices in any way1 is called an SDN controller. Let’s try to throw some minimal amount of taxonomy into that mess based on how these controllers interact with network elements (physical or virtual).
