Savvius Insight Review

Recently, I had the opportunity to evaluate a Savvius Insight appliance. Like most freelance network professionals, much of my interaction with my clients’ networks is remote.

On many IoT projects, IT shops get left behind

IT departments are playing second fiddle to operations people as enterprises tune up for the Internet of Things. That’s one of the surprising findings from a survey of people involved in business IoT projects in the U.S. The survey, conducted last month by Technalysis Research, also revealed that monitoring employees is the No. 1 thing companies want to do with the widely hyped technology. IoT straddles IT and operational technology, two disciplines that for decades have lived side by side without much interaction. Operations people handle things like lights, locks, and machine tools, while IT folks buy the computers and run them.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Trade commission will review contentious Cisco-Arista patent dispute

In what will probably be a long series of parries, the International Trade Commission this week granted a full review of certain patents in the now 15-month old patent suit between Cisco and Arista Networks.Specifically the ITC granted full review of the three patents that Arista is allegedly infringing under the initial determination issued by the presiding judge on Feb 2. In February, the ITC made an initial determination that Arista infringed on three Cisco patents in its switches -- patents associated with a central database for managing configuration data (SysDB) and private VLANs.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

iPhone 7 concept video is jaw-dropping

A new iPhone 7 concept video circulating across the web is absolutely mesmerizing and well worth taking a look at. Now does the video bear any resemblance to what Apple will likely introduce later this fall? Not a chance. Still, sometimes we need a well-crafted concept video to remind us that there's still a lot of room for innovation out there.Put together by Glaxon Paul, the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Pro concepts below envision a sleek device framed by an edge-to-edge display with a dynamic home button that can not only change color, but display images as well. Spec wise, the concept dreams of a 4K display coupled with a 20 megapixel rear camera and a 12 megapixel camera on the front.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

‘Your face is big data:’ The title of this photographer’s experiment says it all

Got privacy? You may think you do, but a recent experiment by a Russian photographer suggests otherwise.In a project entitled, "Your face is big data," Rodchenko Art School student Egor Tsvetkov began by photographing about 100 people who happened to sit across from him on the subway at some point. He then used FindFace, a facial-recognition app that taps neural-network technology, to try to track them down on Russian social media site VK.It was ridiculously easy to find 60 to 70 percent of the subjects aged between 18 and 35 or so, he found, although for older people it was more difficult.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Response:What should IETF “standard track” actually mean?

Russ White blogs on “What should IETF “standard track” actually mean?”. I’m critical of two things: lack of focus on Enterprise networking that standards being produced have little relevance to real world uses. The second is likely to be  people problem because organisations inherently build up resistance to new ideas and become self-referential. The first […]

Intel to ship thumb-sized Compute Sticks with Skylake chips in late April

If you've been waiting patiently for Intel's new Compute Sticks with Skylake chips, there's good news: Those thumb-sized PCs will start shipping on April 29.The three Compute Sticks, which have Intel's Core M3 and M5 chips, can turn a TV or display with an HDMI port into a PC.

Zuckerberg teases Aries and Terragraph projects to expand data networks

Facebook plans to unveil two projects on Wednesday that promise to improve Internet connectivity for users in cities and urban areas. The two, called Aries and Terragraph, will be detailed at its F8 conference in San Francisco, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said on Tuesday. Together, they represent an extension of Facebook's connectivity efforts that so far have been most closely identified with Aquila, a high-flying drone designed by the company to beam down an Internet signal to remote areas. Getting people online and keeping them connected is key to Facebook's expansion plans. After all, it won't be able to persuade new users to come to its services if the Internet connection isn't reliable.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Failover Mechanism Part-2

Dual POP Dual last mile Dual CE (DPDLDC)
This is second post related to fail over Mechanism ,In first post we have configured IP SLA to track the Primary link.Here we won’t be configuring track but will be having IBGP configured between CPE-1 and CPE-2. It’s topology is also Dual POP Dual last mile Dual CE (DPDLDC).It provides redundancy both  for WAN connectivity as well as LAN connectivity.

Here we will be controlling the Traffic from CPE. ISP is very much transparent and is not influencing traffic in this scenario.

failover mechanism2
 Topology.
Here we wont’t track the WAN IP as in fail over Mechanism in last post but will have IBGP running between CPE-1 and CPE-2
Failover Mechanism —
1. Outgoing Traffic from CPE wan is controlled using Local-Preference (Higher LP preferred)
2. Incoming traffic to CPE is controlled using AS Path Prepend attribute of BGP at secondary( lower as path count , better path)
Normal Scenario
================
Primary WAN link is up .HSRP running on CPE-1 towards LAN is active state. CPE-1 has routes to other location from both EBGP and IBGP but will be preferred via PE1 (High Local Preference configured ).Whereas AS prepend is configured on CPE-2 Continue reading
