On today's Weekly Show podcast we dive into Fabric Connect with sponsor Extreme Networks and a customer. We get a real-world look at how Fabric Connect creates an Ethernet fabric across the network, and what that means for operations, security, and automation.

On 22nd of September Internet Society President and CEO, Andrew Sullivan, will take the stage in New York as part of the 2nd annual Global People’s Summit, an event dedicated to bringing new voices forward on some of the world’s most pressing issues.
We invite you to be a part of it. Here’s how:
Time: 12:20 EST / 18:20 CET
Date: 22nd September 2018
URL: https://www.globalpeoplesummit.org/
As the Internet Society believes that to build a future where the Internet is truly for everyone, everyone needs to be part of it. The Global People’s Summit is a great way make sure some of the voices we never hear can BE heard. Now it’s up to policy and decision makers to listen.
Join us on Saturday and use the hashtag #CountMyVoice along with #GlobalPeople and stand up for a digital future where your voice counts.

This post follows on from a previous article which detailed how to establish a BGP peering session between Juniper QFX and VMware NSX Edge Gateway. This time we’ll take a look at how to configure BGP route policy and BGP filters.
When working with BGP, it’s important to consider how BGP routes are imported and exported. In certain scenarios, you may find that the default BGP import and export behaviour is sufficient. But more often than not, you will want to implement an import and export policy in order to control how traffic flows through your network. Here’s a quick reminder of the default behaviours:-
In the following scenario, we’re going to configure BGP import and export policies on Juniper QFX Switches and VMware NSX Edge Gateways. The Juniper QFX switches will be configured to export a default route (0.0.0.0/0) towards the Continue reading
When Neustar needed to take the next step with orchestration, assurance, and telemetry, they chose Anuta Network’s ATOM. In this Network Collective Short Take, Neustar’s Director of Network Engineering (Matt Wilson) joins us to share the end user perspective about how Anuta has helped them realize operational efficiencies and what they’ve learned along the way.
Thank you to Anuta Networks for sponsoring today’s episode and supporting the content we’re creating here at Network Collective. If you would like to learn more about Anuta’s ATOM platform, you can head to https://anutanetworks.com/collective for lots of great information, white papers, case studies, and to try the ATOM platform out for yourself.

Hi, my name is Gilad Gressel and I’d like to tell you about my new course: Deep Learning with Python.
Deep learning is an old technology that has recently been sweeping through the field of machine learning and artificial intelligence. Deep learning powers many of the cutting edge technologies that appear to be “magic” in the world today. Voice recognition, image detection, facial recognition, AI game playing agents (Dota, Chess, and Go), all of these are examples of deep learning in action.
You might be interested in studying deep learning simply because you want to know what the “magic” is, what the hype is all about. That’s a fine reason to take this course, but I urge you to dig a bit deeper. If you have ever stared at a bunch of data and known “there is a pattern here, but I can’t find it,” then this is the course for you!
In this course you will learn what is going on in a deep learning program, what it can do and what it’s limitations are. If you are wondering if you can apply deep learning to your field Continue reading

When you visit a secure website, it offers you a TLS certificate that asserts its identity. Every certificate has an expiration date, and when it’s passed due, it is no longer valid. The idea is almost as old as the web itself: limiting the lifetime of certificates is meant to reduce the risk in case a TLS server’s secret key is compromised.
Certificates aren’t the only cryptographic artifacts that expire. When you visit a site protected by Cloudflare, we also tell you whether its certificate has been revoked (see our blog post on OCSP stapling) — for example, due to the secret key being compromised — and this value (a so-called OCSP staple) has an expiration date, too.
Thus, to determine if a certificate is valid and hasn’t been revoked, your system needs to know the current time. Indeed, time is crucial for the security of TLS and myriad other protocols. To help keep clocks in sync, we are announcing a free, high-availability, and low-latency authenticated time service called Roughtime, available at roughtime.cloudlare.com on port 2002.
It may surprise you to learn that, in practice, clients’ clocks are heavily skewed. A recent study of Continue reading
DevOps projects fall under infrastructure management but need to be treated as internal application development. With adequate planning, workflow code can be updated rapidly as part of an operational role.
Hardware vendors are always making their silicon more complex and feature-rich. Is that a great idea or a disaster waiting to happen? We asked Luke Gorrie, the lead developer of Snabb Switch (an open-source user-land virtual switch written in Lua) about his opinions on the topic.
TL&DL version: Give me a dumb NIC, software can do everything else.

Same-different problems strain convolutional neural networks Ricci et al., arXiv 2018
Since we’ve been looking at the idea of adding structured representations and relational reasoning to deep learning systems, I thought it would be interesting to finish off the week with an example of a problem that seems to require it: detecting whether objects in a scene are the same or different.
This image containing a flute was correctly classified by a CNN trained on millions of photographs. On ImageNet the network even surpassed the accuracy of a human observer.
This image contains two shapes that are the same, a relationship that is immediately obvious to a human observer. “Yet, the CNN failed to learn this relation even after seeing millions of training examples.”
The above is an example of a same-different (SD) visual relation problem (output whether the objects in the scene are the same, or different). Spatial relation (SR) problems ask whether objects follow a certain spatial relation, e.g. in a line, horizontally stacked, vertically stacked, and so on. For example:
The synthetic visual reasoning test (SVRT) contains a collection of 23 binary classification problems along these lines. In each case opposing classes differ Continue reading
