The best way to stop DDoS attacks
This vendor-written tech primer has been edited by Network World to eliminate product promotion, but readers should note it will likely favor the submitter’s approach.
Experiencing a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is like having your home flood. Without warning, attackers can upend your enterprise. Every moment counts, but unfortunately by the time some DDoS solutions identify and report the attack, the damage is already done. You need a faster, more immediate means of threat detection to prevent severe damage.
When a DDoS attack hits your network, a long time can pass before the security/network staff fully realizes it is actually a DDoS attack that is affecting the services, and not a failing server or application. Even more time may pass before the actual mitigation of the threat starts to take effect.

Blessay: My New Criteria for Network Design and Architecture
Today you design resilient, redundant networks with what you have. Tomorrow, we need networks that use using software and freedom to be predictable and safe.

What does really MPLS layer 2 VPN mean ?
Couple days before I received an email from one of my readers related with his design. He designed a network infrastructure for his customer and wanted me to take a look as well. But I realized that He has some misunderstanding on the usage of MPLS layer 2 VPNs and I thought just briefly mentioning… Read More »

You can’t put the future on hold
Greg Ferro recently participated in an “Ask Me Anything” thread on Reddit. In that thread, user “1DumbQuestion” made this comment:
Last, never finished my CCIE because of what I perceive will happen with SDN in the next coming years.
I’ve seen similar comments from others over the last couple of years. This concerns me because it seems that people are saying “There’s too much change going on here, and I don’t know how it will all work out. So I’ll just do nothing.”
Don’t be one of those people.
You should take a hard look at your career, and try to understand where the industry is going. If you think that CCIE study is not the best use of your time, that’s fine. But you should make a conscious choice about that. Crucially, you must decide where else to invest your time and energy.
If you firmly believe that networking will change dramatically over the next few years, then take active steps to prepare yourself. Think about your current skills, and where you have gaps. Maybe you need to learn more about Linux. Maybe it’s configuration management, or Python scripting. Put your time into Continue reading
