How to Celebrate Valentine’s Day with Your Single Friends
Valentine’s Day is just a few months away, so it’s time to think about what you’re going to do this year. It is believed that Valentine’s Day is just for people who are romantically and passionately in love. However that is not the case, you can still enjoy Valentine’s Day with your loved ones even if you are single. This article will teach you how to celebrate Valentine’s Day with your single friends, no matter where they are in their dating journey!
Have a Movie Marathon
You and your single friends can get together to watch movies. The best thing about this is you don’t even have to change out of your pajamas! Buy a big tub of popcorn, order some pizzas and cuddle up on the couch surrounded by blankets. You’ll all love this because it’s just like being in high school again!
Go To a Comedy Show
If you’re looking for something more interactive than watching movies, then check out a comedy show! It will be exciting and hilarious at once so everyone should enjoy themselves.
Valentine’s Day Charity Event
Another option is to do a charity event. You and your single friends can volunteer at an Continue reading
Feedback: ipSpace.net Materials
Andy Lemin sent me such a wonderful review of ipSpace.net materials that I simply couldn’t resist publishing it ;)
ipSpace.net is probably my favorite networking resource out there. After spending years with other training content sites which are geared around certifications, ipspace.net provides a totally unique source of vendor neutral opinions, information, and anecdotes – the kind of information that is just not available anywhere else. And to top it off, is presented by a wonderful speaker who is passionate, smart and really knows his stuff!
The difference between an engineer who just has certs versus an engineer who has a rounded and wide view of the whole industry is massive. An engineer with certs can configure your network, but an engineer with all the knowledge this site provides, is someone who can question why and challenge how we can configure your network in a better way.

CyberFlood: Test Duration, Load Specification and Default Starter Tests
Okay so ORIGINALLY the idea was to do a YouTube video to explain the interaction and relationship between the “Test Duration” of a CyberFlood test and the “Load Specification”. However, in order to best explain “load specification” though it is... Read More ›

Rust Notes: Booleans
The boolean type in Rust is defined with the bool type annotation and can be either a true or false literal. Boolean Considerations false has a bit battern of 0x00 true has a bit battern of 0x01 Booleans cannot be used in arithmatic unless they are cast to a u8 continue reading
Interop LDP and Segment Routing with IP infusion and MikroTik
Introduction
During networking field day service provider 1 there was a ton of talk about segment routing (SR) and ethernet virtual private networks (EVPN). One of the biggest questions was “how do we get there?” and while we won’t examine EVPN in this post (it’s coming in a future post don’t worry) we will look at how you can take advantage of SR while still having large portions of LDP in your network.
The team here at IP architechs works on a lot of MikroTik and whitebox gear so we’ll focus on a deployment using MikroTik and IP infusion.
MPLS and IGP setup
The first thing to accomplish is end to end reachability between the provider edge (PE) routers. MikroTik doesn’t support IS-IS so we will have to perform redistribution between the IS-IS segment and the OSPF segment as seen above.
MPLS only requires the /32s of the loopbacks for functionality so redistribution is limited to the /32 loopbacks of the PE routers.

Stumbled upon a totally unexpected fun fact:
Every server vendor either peaked or hits the peak of maximum units sold per quarter in 2015. In the years that follow, the monthly averages drop.
Keep that in mind the next time Cisco sales team comes along with a UCS presentation.

In this post, we look at how Containerlab can be used to quickly spin up vQFX topologies for network validation and testing. We’ll walk through the entire process - how to build docker images from vQFX images, what happens behind the scenes when bringing these containers up and how to build/verify your topology.
Worth Reading: Non-Standard Standards, SRv6 Edition
Years ago, I compared EVPN to SIP – it has a gazillion options, and every vendor implements a different subset of them, making interoperability a nightmare.
According to Andrew Alston, SRv6 is no better (while being a security nightmare). No surprise there.

Rust Notes: Integers and Floats
Integers Integers represent whole numbers. Rust has both unsigned integers and signed integers. unsigned integers cannot be negative, and have a higher positive range than signed integers, that can be negative, but have a lower postive range. The following table lists the integer...continue reading

Heavy Networking 616: Do We Need An SMTP Alternative? TMTP And MNM Are Here To Find Out
The SMTP protocol isn't broken, but email kinda is. Spam, phishing, and other unwanted messages are easy to deliver and harder to stop. On today's Heavy Networking we discuss TMTP and mnm, a proposed new protocol and client that aim to preserve the benefits of email while eliminating vulnerabilities and offering a better experience. Our guest is Liam Breck, creator of TMTP and mnm.
