The inaugural "Non-Blocking" podcast for ForwardingPlane.net. We discuss sFlow with one if its creators, Peter Phaal of InMon.Discuss sFlow, the protocol, it's uses, similarities to other management frameworks, how it is dissimilar from netflow and why it is worth while to take some time to learn it.

I always name my IOS static routes as a best practise. However I hit a syntax issue last week when I tried to combine the named static with a tag, then redistributing that tagged static route into OSPF. If you have … Continue reading

So because I’m new to this whole blogging at Packet Pushers thing (and blogging in general), I’ve been trying to decide on my place in the grand scheme of things. There are a lot of folks here that do a great job of deep-dives, vendor happenings, and general overviews. I could do those, but what’s the point of rehashing what this site and 100s of others (Google FTW) do?

We discuss Juniper's efforts to clean up its security mess, why employees have no privacy at work, a spat between the EFF and T-Mobile's CEO, a spectrum deal that could net billions for Michael Dell, and more.

Which cloud should you use? It may depend on what you need to do with it. What Zach Bjornson needs to do is process large amounts scientific data as fast as possible, which means reading data into memory as fast as possible. So, he made benchmark using Google's new multi-cloud PerfKitBenchmarker, to figure out which cloud was best for the job.
The results are in a very detailed article: AWS S3 vs Google Cloud vs Azure: Cloud Storage Performance. Feel free to datamine the results for more insights, but overall his conclusions are:
It’s an exciting time in networking!
Google and Amazon recently gave the IT community a glimpse behind the curtain of web-IT, revealing the outcome of their pioneering efforts. It’s no surprise that they’ve settled on IP fabrics and network virtualization to provide both scale and isolation. Web giants Facebook and Microsoft are both driving open hardware in an effort to eliminate the lock that industry incumbents have on networking solutions.
You know that you’re onto something when industry analysts start counting things – Gartner’s Andrew Lerner recently published his perspective on the networking industry; by 2017, they expect 50% of global enterprises to embrace web-IT architectures.
Last year, we saw the uptake of modern networking paradigms. Practitioners of NetDevOps are driving automation practices into the network domain. IP storage solutions are rampant, benefiting from high capacity IP fabrics. Brite-box hardware suppliers have enabled web-IT with procurement, logistics, and support capability that meets the needs of any organization. Network virtualization solutions from VMware NSX and up-and-comer Nuage are getting the nod in enterprises. The OpenStack community applied a laser-like focus on Neutron which in turn has promoted virtual network solutions from Akanda and Midokura to be deployed at scale. We’re seeing Continue reading

Back to GIT! Just to have a quick recap of the things we’ve seen in the first part of our GIT deep dive, I am going to create a brand new repo, some files and commit everything:
$ mkdir myrepo2
$ cd myrepo2
$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/huidesa/myrepo2/.git/
$ touch file1
$ touch license_agreement
$ touch installer.exe
$ touch hello.lib
$ git status
On branch master
Initial commit
Untracked files:
(use “git add <file>…” to include in what will be committed)
file1
hello.lib
installer.exe
license_agreement
nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use “git add” to track)
$ git add *
$ git status
On branch master
Initial commit
Changes to be committed:
(use “git rm –cached <file>…” to unstage)
new file: file1
new file: hello.lib
new file: installer.exe

Is IP Telephony dead? “When a technology market stops growing, it’s dead” — this is the call and mantra of the technology world. Since we live in a percentage driven world, the first question we seem to ask is, “what story do the percentages tell?” Tom raises the counterpoint — it doesn’t matter if the market is growing or not, there’s still a huge need for phones on desks. Who is right?
But I think this entire percentage driven thing points to a problem in our technology culture. Let me tell you a story…
We have a dog. A black and white (black with white spots as my daughter tells me, because his nose is black) English Cocker Spaniel. With black spots in his white spots. Spaniels, if you’re not familiar with them, are balls of energy. They never really “grow up” — not really, anyway. The most sedate Spaniel breed in the world is a Clumber, and they’re not what you’d call “down” personalities. Now, when we first brought this little bundle of energy home, we weighed him on a regular basis. At some point, he slowed down in gaining weight, and eventually he stopped gaining weight altogether.
