As a Computer Science graduate student in the late 70s/early 80s, I often wondered what would happen if the problems that would later come to be known as the “AI-complete” problems, which included vision, knowledge representation, natural language, and machine learning [0], were all actually solved. Would the resultant code be self-aware (whatever that means)? Would it […]
Some people have pointed out the Internet BGP table is now at 500,000 IP Routes. I'm must say I'm disappointed. If you people don't hurry up and blow this to a million entries, we will never get decent routers and greater bandwidth in the carrier backbones.

It is often said that there are only problems in the design of IP Routing protocols. Propagation – how routes are notified to all elements on the network. Expiration – how to detect and notify that routes are no longer valid. But most people quickly realise that silent third problem – recursion. […]

Today I’m off to NYC for Open Networking User Group 2014. Tech Field Day was at the last ONUG back in October, 2013 and they were kind enough to invite me out to this one. Here’s a quick intro video of ONUG for those that aren’t aware of it – Tom Hollingsworth interviews ONUG creator Nick Lippis:
We have a good group of vendors lined up for similar round-table discussions. I happen to LOVE this format of conversation, especially with the smart folks we’ve seen from vendors like Nuage and Cumulus. I am really looking forward to sitting down and talking tech.
My original outsider’s perspective was that ONUG in general (not counting nerdy Tech Field Day round table discussions) wasn’t really aimed towards the technical folks, but rather at executives, and at other IT decision makers looking for additional choices in networking infrastructure. While there’s certainly a lot of that, I’d like to call out a few sessions/events that really interest the nerd in me (as if I’m not 100% nerd).
Back in February, I had the pleasure of sitting in Kyle Mestery’s presentation on integration with OpenDaylight and OpenStack at the OpenDaylight Summit:

How does the internet work - We know what is networking
In my current studies I did some work about security inside networking data paths. In my recent work I tried to get some experiments done that needed to use source based routing in order to be completed. Like most of scientific work that tries to get from paper to experiment and then to something useful, it failed […]

I have been trying to configure things faster and faster as a bit of personal challenge to myself recently. It is only when the clock is on you that you start to panic. So I have a little challenge. Configure PPPOE between two routers in under 60 seconds. This is the topology This is the […]

After I get an interesting if it is not weird question about switch selection from someone couple days ago I decided to share my ideas about this specific and actually important topic. Question was exactly like this; ‘ Which one I should buy 24 port or 48 port switch ‘. What would you give […]

I’ve spent a lot of time researching the hardware and technology that goes inside switches and routers. In part this is because I’m in the early stages of a book on White Box Networking where I needed to be able to put together information about the technology but really because software can only deliver what […]

This is Part 2 in a special series looking at the silicon and hardware inside your network device. Although software will be at heart of network innovation, it will still run on hardware and it’s time to expose the internals of our network hardware and understand the hardware architecture inside a typical device. Many people […]
