Network Break 257: Cumulus Networks Heads To Campus; Stealthy Pensando Emerges To Target Edge Computing
On today's Network Break we examine Cumulus's move into campus networking, Thoma Bravo's multi-billion-dollar bid for Sophos, and the limited debut of 5G in the UK. We also try to parse a buzzword-laded press release announcing stealthy startup Pensando Systems, discuss the EU's interim measures against Broadcom for anti-competitive behavior, and more tech news.Network Break 257: Cumulus Networks Heads To Campus; Stealthy Pensando Emerges To Target Edge Computing

The Week in Internet News: A Fight over Community Broadband in Missouri
Broadband battle: Missouri law prohibits cities from launching their own broadband services, but some groups are pushing again that policy, reports The Salem News Online, a newspaper in the south central area of the state. More than half of the rural residents of the state lack broadband with download speeds of 25 Mbps. Several electric cooperatives are exploring ways to provide broadband service.
Connecting Africa: In recent years, Microsoft has focused on bringing broadband to rural areas in the U.S. through its Airband initiative, and the program, focused on providing wireless broadband through unused television spectrum, could also have great benefits for Africa, according to a column at Forbes.com. The company’s international effort aims to connect 40 million people to the Internet by 2022.
Shutdown fuels fake news: An ongoing Internet shutdown in the India-controlled region of Kashmir has created a “fake news battle” with neighboring Pakistan involved, the International Business Times says. Groups from India and Pakistan are spreading disinformation, with one side distributing old photos from Gaza as supposed evidence that Kashmir has turned into a “living hell,” and the other side spreading old photos of happy children to purportedly show that everything is great Continue reading

MUST READ: The NTP Bible
A few months ago Johannes Weber sent me a short email saying “hey, I plan to write a few NTP posts” and I replied “well, ping me when you have something ready”.
In the meantime he wrote a veritable NTP bible - a series of NTP-related blog posts covering everything from Why Should I Run My Own NTP Servers to authentication, security and monitoring - definitely a MUST READ if you care about knowing what time it is.

Fundamentals of MPLS LSPs
One of the items that often trips folks up with MPLS is the concept of label switched paths or LSPs. We’ve talked about them extensively before in many of the blog posts here and I’ve described them a couple of different ways. Many people look at an LSP as a sort of unidirectional tunnel. In fact, most network diagrams aiming to describe an LSP often show it just as that – a tunnel. It’s an easy thing to visualize especially when you start talking about nested tunnels or LSPs inside of LSPs, but I also think it can be rather confusing. This becomes even more confusing when people start talking about end to end LSPs or how a service label is the same end to end as traffic traverses an LSP. What does that mean? Where does an LSP start or stop? Is it really a tunnel? How far can an LSP reach? What if we run different label distribution protocols? In this post, and perhaps the next, I hope to address these questions as well as talk about how we can solve some of the common problems that are often encountered with LSPs.
So let’s dive right in and Continue reading
