In the Three Paths of Enterprise IT part of Business Aspects of Networking webinar I covered the traditional networking vendor landscape. Let’s try to do the same for SD-WAN.
It’s clear that we have two types of SD-WAN vendors:

From time to time I receive a request for more HCI (human-computer interaction) related papers in The Morning Paper. If you’ve been a follower of The Morning Paper for any time at all you can probably tell that I naturally gravitate more towards the feeds-and-speeds end of the spectrum than user experience and interaction design. But what good is a super-fast system that nobody uses! With the help of Aditya Parameswaran, who recently received a VLDB Early Career Research Contribution Award for his work on the development of tools for large-scale data exploration targeting non-programmers, I’ve chosen a selection of data exploration, visualisation and interaction papers for this week. Thank you Aditya! Fingers crossed I’ll be able to bring you more from Aditya Parameswaran in future editions.
Vega and Vega-lite follow in a long line of work that can trace its roots back to Wilkinson’s ‘The Grammar of Graphics.’ It’s all the way back to 2015 since we last looked at the Vega-family on The Morning Paper (see ‘Declarative interaction design for data visualization’ and ‘[Reactive Continue reading
Barcelona is probably my favorite city in Europe—which works out well, since VMware seems to have settled on Barcelona at the destination for VMworld EMEA. VMworld is back in Barcelona again this year, and I’m fortunate enough to be able to attend. VMworld in Barcelona wouldn’t be the same without Spousetivities, though, and I’m happy to report that Spousetivities will be in Barcelona. In fact, registration is already open!
If you’re bringing along a spouse, significant other, boyfriend/girlfriend, or just some family members, you owe it to them to look into Spousetivities. You’ll be able to focus at the conference knowing that your loved one(s) are not only safe, but enjoying some amazing activities in and around Barcelona. Here’s a quick peek at what Crystal and her team have lined up this year:
Lunch and private transportation are included for all activities, and all activities Continue reading
It is extremely easy to find articles regarding how serious relationships in college can interfere with your studies and keep you from fully experience all college life has to offer. While it is true that some serious relationships cause a lot of upheaval and may have a negative influence on the college experience for some people, this does not hold true for all college students.
In many situations, having serious relationships in college can actually help your career once you graduate. Here are just some ways that serious relationships in college can help your career later.
To make a relationship work, two people need to work as a team and both parties have to learn to compromise and communicate well. Teamwork, compromise, and communication are also important in any career you choose. Being in a relationship can help you learn these necessary skills that are as important to your professional life as they are to your personal life.
Being in a relationship, whether that relationship is good or bad, you tend to learn as much about yourself as Continue reading
SASE combines elements of SD-WAN and network security into a single cloud-managed package.
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.
On today's sponsored Heavy Networking, we talk with Juniper Networks and Corero about how they've partnered on a unique solution to thwart DDoS attacks at the network edge using Juniper's MX routers and Corero's SmartWall Threat Defense Director (TDD). The solution can be used by service providers, enterprises, and in the cloud. Our guests are Ashley Stephenson, CEO of Corero; and Mark Denny, Product Manager, Senior Staff at Juniper Networks.

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

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, ‘threads’ were a programming novelty rarely used and seldom trusted. In that environment, the first PostgreSQL developers decided forking a process for each connection to the database is the safest choice. It would be a shame if your database crashed, after all.
Since then, a lot of water has flown under that bridge, but the PostgreSQL community has stuck by their original decision. It is difficult to fault their argument – as it’s absolutely true that:
When you start evaluating a solution, you are going to get a laundry list of features and functionality that you are supposed to use as criteria for selection. Some are important, like the ones that give you the feature set you need to get your job done. Others are less important for the majority of use cases. One thing tends to stand out for me though.
Since the dawn of platforms, I believe the first piece of comparison marketing has been “avoids lock-in”. You know you’ve seen it too. For those that may not be completely familiar with the term, “lock-in” describes a platform where all the components need to come from the same manufacturer or group of manufacturers in order to work properly. An example would be if a networking solution required you to purchase routers, switches, access points, and firewalls from a single vendor in order to work properly.
Lock in is the greatest asset a platform company has. The more devices they can sell you the more money they can get from you at every turn. That’s what they want. So they’re going to do everything they can to keep you in their ecosystem. Continue reading
