Previously, I’ve written a number of articles that compared syntax between Cisco and MikroTik and have received some great feedback on them.
As such, I decided to begin a series on Juniper to MikroTik starting with MPLS and L3VPN interop as it related to a project I was working on last year.
In the world of network engineering, learning a new syntax for a NOS can be overwhelming if you need a specific set of config in a short timeframe. The command structure for RouterOS can be a bit challenging if you are used to Juniper CLI commands.
If you’ve worked with Juniper gear and are comfortable with how to deploy that vendor, it is helpful to draw comparisons between the commands, especially if you are trying to build a network with a MikroTik and Juniper router.

The lab consists of (3) Juniper P routers and (2) MikroTik PE routers. Although we did not get into L3VPN in this particular lab, the layout is the same.
A note on route-targets
It seems that the format of the route-target has some bearing on this being successful. Normally i’ll use a format like Continue reading

A little while ago I explained why you can’t use more than 4K VXLAN segments on a ToR switch (at least with most ASICs out there). Does that mean that you’re limited to a total of 4K virtual ethernet segments?
Of course not.
You could implement overlay virtual networks in software (on hypervisors or container hosts), although even there the enterprise products rarely give you more than a few thousand logical switches (to use NSX terminology)… but that’s a product, not technology limitation. Large public cloud providers use the same (or similar) technology to run gazillions of tenant segments.

Following on from the STELLA report, today we’re going back to the first major work to study the human and organisational side of incident management in business-critical Internet services: John Allspaw’s 2015 Masters thesis. The document runs to 87 pages, so I’m going to cover the material across two posts. Today we’ll be looking at the background and literature review sections, which place the activity in a rich context and provide many jumping off points for going deeper in areas of interest to you. In the next post we’ll look at the detailed analysis of how a team at Etsy handled a particular incident on December 4th 2014, to see what we can learn from it.
Perhaps it seems obvious that incident management is hard. But it’s worth recaping some of the reasons why this is the case, and what makes it an area worthy of study.
The operating environment of Internet services contains many of the ingredients necessary for ambiguity and high consequences for mistakes in the diagnosis and response of an adverse Continue reading
