Even though I wrote about the challenges of routing from VXLAN VNI to VLAN segment on a certain popular chipset a while ago, many engineers obviously still find the topic highly confusing (no surprise there, it is).
Maybe a video is worth a thousand words ;) – I published the part of recent VXLAN webinar where I described the issue in as many details as I could.
This is a quick calculator I came up that I could use in the CCIE lab to translate between various IPv4 header QoS markings. As long as I could remember how to draw out the calculator, all I had to do was some basic math and I could translate between markings quite easily.
Welcome to Technology Short Take #49 (also known as Distraction-as-a-Service)! I have here for your reading pleasure an eclectic collection of links and articles from around the web, focusing on data center-related technologies. Here’s hoping you find something useful. Bring on the content!
Something, Something, Apple Watch.
Oh, yeah. There needs to be substance in a wearable blog post. Not just product names.
Wearables are the next big product category that is driving innovation. The advances being made in screen clarity, battery life, and component miniaturization are being felt across the rest of the device market. I doubt Apple would have been able to make the new Macbook logic board as small as it is without a few things learned from trying to cram transistors into a watch case. But, are we the people sending the wrong messages about wearable technology?
If you look at the biggest driving factor behind technology today, it comes down to size. Technology companies are making things smaller and lighter with every iteration. If the words thinnest and lightest don’t appear in your presentation at least twice then you aren’t on the cutting edge. But is this drive because tech companies want to make things tiny? Or is it more that consumers are driving them that way?
Yes, people the world over are now complaining that technology should have other attributes besides size and weight. A large contingent says that battery life is Continue reading
