IBM’s Cognitive Platform ‘Augments Human Intelligence’
IBM says the Watson-powered product goes beyond just automation.
Building an Enterprise-grade SD-WAN
There are several advanced features that make up an enterprise-grade SD-WAN, including load balancing, optimization, and real-time visibility.
Arista eAPI
In the diagram, the sFlow-RT analytics engine receives streaming sFlow telemetry, provides real-time network-wide visibility, and automatically applies controls using eAPI to optimize forwarding, block denial of service attacks, or capture suspicious traffic.
Arista eAPI 101 describes the JSON RPC interface for programmatic control of Arista switches. The following eapi.js script shows how eAPI requests can be made using sFlow-RT's JavaScript API:
function runCmds(proto, agent, usr, pwd, cmds) {
var req = {
jsonrpc:'2.0',id:'sflowrt',method:'runCmds',
params:{version:1,cmds:cmds,format:'json'}
};
var url = (proto || 'http')+'://'+agent+'/command-api';
var resp = http(url,'post','application/json',JSON.stringify(req),usr,pwd);
if(!resp) throw "no response";
resp = JSON.parse(resp);
if(resp.error) throw resp.error.message;
return resp.result;
}The following test.js script demonstrates the eAPI functionality with a basic show request: include('eapi.js');
var result = runCmds('http','10.0.0.90','admin','arista',['show hostname']);
logInfo(JSON.stringify(result));Starting sFlow-RT: env "RTPROP=-Dscript.file=test.js" ./start.shRunning the script generates the following output:

Nokia NFV VNF Report Webinar Q&A: Nokia Cloud Native for Fully Digitized Businesses
Thanks to all who joined us for the Nokia NFV VNF Report Webinar: Nokia Cloud Native for Fully Digitized Businesses, where Nokia discussed cloud native design, creating a Telco cloud and leveraging the full potential of cloud in Telco. After the webinar, we took questions from the audience but unfortunately ran out of time before we could... Read more →
Moby Summit alongside Open Source Summit North America
Since the Moby Project introduction at DockerCon 2017 in Austin last April, the Moby Community has been hard at work to further define the Moby project, improve its components (runC, containerd, LinuxKit, InfraKit, SwarmKit, Libnetwork and Notary) and fine processes and clear communication channels.
All project maintainers are developing these aspects in the open with the support of the community. Contributors are getting involved on GitHub, giving feedback on the Moby Project Discourse forum and asking questions on Slack. Special Interest Groups (SIGs) for the Moby Project components have been formed based on the Kubernetes model for Open Source collaboration. These SIGs ensure a high level of transparency and synchronization between project maintainers and a community of heterogeneous contributors.
In addition to these online channels and meetings, the Moby community hosts regular meetups and summits. Check out the videos and slides from the last DockerCon Moby May Summit and June Moby Summit to catch up on the latest project updates. The Moby Summit page on the Moby website contains the agenda and registration link for next Moby summit, as well as recaps of previous summit.
The next Moby Summit will take Continue reading

High Expectations for Low Precision at CERN
The last couple of years has seen a steady drumbeat for the use of low precision in growing numbers of workloads driven in large part by the rise of machine learning and deep learning applications and the ongoing desire to cut back on the amount of power consumed.
The interest in low precision is rippling through the high-performance computing (HPC) field, spanning companies that are running applications sets to the tech vendors that are creating the systems and components on which the work is done.
The Next Platform has kept a steady eye on the developments the deep-learning and machine-learning …

When is a Connected Route Not Used?
I ran into this situation on a recent project and thought it would make an excellent question on an exam. It could be worded something like this:
What is the behavior of a router or Layer 3 switch when a dynamic route is learned that partially overlaps with a directly connected network?
a. The router reboots
b. The network reboots
c. That’s um-possible
d. None of the above
The answer, of course, is “d” but the specifics of what does happen is what’s interesting. First, this is the scenario I’m trying to describe in the question above:
R12#show ip route
...
Gateway of last resort is not set
10.0.0.0/8 is variably subnetted, 6 subnets, 3 masks
D 10.1.14.0/24 [90/1024640] via 123.1.1.14, 00:14:37, Ethernet0/1
C 10.10.10.0/24 is directly connected, Ethernet0/0
L 10.10.10.12/32 is directly connected, Ethernet0/0
D 10.10.10.64/26 [90/1024640] via 123.1.1.14, 00:14:05, Ethernet0/1
R12 has a directly connected network 10.10.10.0/24 on its e0/0 interface. It has also learned a route for 10.10.10.64/26 via an EIGRP neighbor on its e0/1 interface. We can see both networks Continue reading
LockPoS Joins the Flock
While revisiting a Flokibot campaign that was targeting point of sale (PoS) systems in Brazil earlier this year, we discovered something interesting. One of the command and control (C2) servers that had been dormant for quite some time had suddenly woken up and started distributing […]6 Ways SSDs Are Cheaper Than Hard Drives
When it comes to TCO, solid-state drives are a better deal than HDDs.
Episode 7 – Extending Layer 2
There’s plenty of debate in the networking community about the merits of extending layer 2 networks, when you should do it, how you should do it, what pitfalls you should avoid, and what benefits you should expect. Join us as our panel discuss the finer points of what you should consider when you are considering extending layer 2 in your network.
