Tech Bytes: DDOS and State Exhaustion With NETSCOUT – Updated
Its not widely that DDOS attacks also cause damage from state exhaustion in devices. A recent study why Netscout surprised me that many engineers are aware of overload bandwidth or routing devices but give less considerations to state exhaustion in application aware devices.Tech Bytes: DDOS and State Exhaustion With NETSCOUT – Updated

How IT Pros Learn Online In 2021
I surveyed 53 IT professionals about online IT training in August 2021. Most of the folks I interact with are networking & cloud infrastructure professionals, and the answers reflect that. 53 responses isn’t enough to draw hard and fast conclusions from, but I still believe there are interesting trends & individual comments worth thinking about.
By the way, if you’d like to submit your own responses, I left the survey open. I told Google Forms to not collect email addresses, so your responses are anonymous.

Building Consistent Security for Diverse LAN and Edge Networks
Security needs to be deployed consistently across every edge and tightly coupled with networking so that it can automatically adapt to changes.Hedge 97: Low Context DevOps
Language is deeply contextual—one of my favorite sayings from the theological world is if you take the text out of its context, you are just left with the con. What does context have to do with development and operations, though? Can there be low and high context situations in the daily life of building and running systems? Thomas Limoncelli joins Tom Ammon and Russ White to discuss the idea of low context devops, and the larger issue of context in managing projects and teams, on this episode of the Hedge.
The Huge Payoff Of Extreme Co-Design In Molecular Dynamics
When money is really no object and the budget negotiations involve taking a small slice of your personal net worth of $7.5 billion out of one pocket and putting it into another, and you have the technical chops to understand the complexities of molecular dynamics and have a personal mission to cure disease, then you can build any damned supercomputer you want. …

MikroTik – RouterOSv7 first look – feedback on routing filters
Overview
Routing filters have been a hot topic lately in the world of RouterOSv7. The first implementation of routing filters in ROSv7 was difficult to work with and documented in the two articles below:
MikroTik – RouterOSv7 first look – Dynamic routing with IPv6 and OSPFv3/BGP
MikroTik RouterOS – v7.0.3 stable (chateau) and status of general release
MikroTik then made some changes and opened up discussion to get feedback. I did a lot of work and testing using ROS 7.1beta7 which never made it to public release and was close to publishing the results when 7.1rc1 came out so this post will use that version.
RouterOSv7.1rc1 syntax example
Here is an example of the latest syntax in ROSv7.1rc1
CLI
### MikroTik RouterOS 7.1rc1 ###
/routing filter rule
add chain=dead.beef.101 rule="if (dst==200:dead:beef:101::/64) {accept}"
add chain=dead.beef.102 rule="if (dst==200:dead:beef:102::/64) {accept}"
add chain=dead.beef.agg rule="if (dst in 200:dead:beef::/48) {accept}"
add chain=bgp-out-v6 rule="if (chain dead.beef.101) {set bgp-local-pref 300; accept}"
add chain=bgp-out-v6 rule="if (chain dead.beef.102) {accept}"
add chain=bgp-out-v6 rule="if (chain dead.beef.agg && dst-len<128) {set bgp-local-pref 150; accept}"Winbox
And the corresponding routes received Continue reading
