What does PE-CE mean in MPLS ?
What does PE-CE mean in the context of MPLS ? What is CE , P and PE device in MPLS and MPLS VPN ? These are foundational terms and definition in MPLS. MPLS is one of the most commonly used encapsulation mechanism in Service Provider networks and before studying more advanced mechanisms, this article is […]

Open Source at Docker, Part 3: The Tooling and Automation
The Docker open source project is among the most successful in recent history by every possible metric: number of contributors, GitHub stars, commit frequency, … Managing an open source project at that scale and preserving a healthy community doesn’t come without challenges.
This post is the last of a 3-part series on how we deal with those challenges on the Docker Engine project. Part 1 was all about the people behind the project, and part 2 focused on the processes. In Part 3, we will cover tooling and automation.
There are many areas for automation in a project such as Docker. We wanted to present and share some of our tooling with you: the CI, the utility bots, and the project dashboards.

The Case for the 25GbE Access Layer
The 10GbE network interface card is rarely the bottleneck on the average enterprise host. So who needs 25GbE? The answer is about what you will need tomorrow versus what you do need today.

Merchant silicon based routing, flow analytics, and telemetry
The router market is poised to be similarly disrupted with the introduction of devices based on Broadcom's Jericho ASIC, which has the capacity to handle over 1 million routes in hardware (the full Internet routing table is currently around 600,000 routes).
An edge router is a very pricey box indeed, often costing anywhere from $100,000 to $200,000 per 100 Gb/sec port, depending on features in the router and not including optical cables that are also terribly expensive. Moreover, these routers might only be able to cram 80 ports into a half rack or full rack of space. The 7500R universal spine and 7280R universal leaf switches cost on the order of $3,000 per 100 Gb/sec port, and they are considerably denser and less expensive. - Leaving Fixed Function Switches Behind For Universal LeafsBroadcom Jericho ASICs are currently available in Arista 7500R/7280R routers and in Cisco NCS 5000 series routers. Expect further disruption Continue reading

Using Docker Datacenter for Enterprise-Ready Orchestration – The SA Home Loans Story
Orchestration for dockerized applications in production has been a huge reason for why today’s enterprises have begun to leverage Docker Datacenter.
Universal Control Plane, the management layer of the Docker Container-as-a-Service platform delivers production-level orchestration. The tool enables enterprise IT ops teams to manage, deploy and scale their applications across their multi-node clusters. These clusters can be comprised of nodes that exist both in cloud providers like Azure and AWS as well as in the datacenter. Universal Control Plane comes with Docker Swarm embedded into it, giving it the power to create clusters and scale applications across their environment, regardless of infrastructure type, all with support from the Docker team.
Switch Chip Startup Touts Networking Breakthrough
Barefoot Networks says its ASIC will make networks fully programmable without sacrificing performance.
The Cost Of “Sales” Isn’t Free
Why should you care how much a company spends on sales? Because the actual cost of selling products is paid for by the customer in the price of the product.
