The Packets Never Lie

A few weeks ago we released an episode on the fundamentals of gRPC. And while programmatic interfaces are excellent tools for network automation, often that is only the beginning of the story. That’s no exception with gRPC. In this episode we continue down the path of that gRPC conversation and into gNMI, a standards based approached to programmatic interaction with network devices utilizing gRPC. We discuss what it is, how it works, and where it stands in today’s fast moving environment.

In this episode we will discuss the idea of SD-WAN vs. Application Acceleration and WANop.  With the proliferation of SD-WAN we’ve heard a lot of people say that SD-WAN gives you the traffic control, but does it negate the need for application acceleration or WAN optimization tools?  We attack this common misconception and discuss our stance on the matter in this episode.

As the world of network automation continues to evolve, we are seeing different options emerge in how we programmatically interface with our devices. In this episode we take a look at one of the newest and more interesting methods, gRPC. gRPC was developed by Google as a way to execute remote procedure calls in the orchestration of their system and includes such concepts as Protocol Buffers, authentication, bidirectional streaming, and flow control. Join us as we dive into how gRPC works, why it’s different than what you may already know, and why you may want to look into using it to orchestrate your infrastructure.

SuzieQ is an open source network observability platform they launched last year. We talk about the general problem space of network monitoring and how the industry needs better tools to understand operational state data.

In this episode we discuss the 80/20 rule for SaaS and IaaS, what it is according to Vince, and why you should care.

In looking back on 2020 we think about all of the things we did to keep ourselves busy. Some of us starting baking bread at home, some started home gardens, and if you are part of the networking twitter community you probably saw a lot of folks chasing some new certifications. Throughout 2020, with isolation and the pandemic in full swing, networking vendors and certification facilitators found ways to serve the community by providing remote exams and free trainings. Whether it was the need to stay busy or trying to learn something new, whatever your reason is to pursue a new certification, the question is which one? With 2020 now behind us and our future constantly changing, which certifications will give you the biggest impact for 2021 and beyond? In today’s episode we talk to 2 prominent networking influencers:  Ernest the “Cisco Panther” and Yasmin Lara the “mom who can fix anything”  We’ll go over topics covering  their certification journey how it’s positioned them to continue growth throughout the pandemic and which certifications give you the best bang for your buck for 2021 and beyond.

Networking is one of the industries where every time a good idea comes around it doesn’t take long for that idea to get coopted and turned into something to sell products, often drastically changing the intent of the original idea. Today we’re going to try to roll back the clock a bit and discuss the original idea around Intent Based Networking. What is it? What does it mean for you? And how do products fit into the original intent. Show Notes  Compare/contrast the original intent of Intent Based Networking with what it has been marketed as Trajectory towards Intent Based Networks  Traditional models Automation added Orchestration added Intent added   Three pillars of Intent Based Networking  Defining Intent Fulfilling Intent Assuring Intent   Gaps between the vision and current reality Approach vs. Product – what’s the right way to think about Intent Based Networking  Daren Fulwell Guest Tony Efantis Host Jordan Martin Host Outro Music: Danger Storm Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ The post The Real Intent Behind Intent Based Networking appeared first on Network Collective.

There’s no doubt that Software-Defined Wide Area Networking is one of the most hyped technologies we’ve seen recent history. From cost savings to unprecedented simplicity, no claim seemed to be off limits when it came to controller driven networks. Now that’s it’s 2019 and some of the dust is settling we wanted to have a chat with a couple of engineers who have been in the thick of it and know what it’s really like to design, implement, and operate Software-Defined WANs.   We would like to thank VIAVI Solutions for sponsoring this episode of Network Collective. VIAVI Solutions is an application and network management industry leader focusing on end-user experience by providing products that optimize performance and speed problem resolution.

Episode 42 – SD-WAN Beyond The Hype

Many routing experts believe that segment routing provides significant advantages over MPLS, and more specifically MPLS Traffic Engineering (MPLS-TE). In this episode we take a look at some of the foundational concepts used in segment routing and some of the differentiators between it and MPLS. Resources:  RFC 8402 – Segment Routing Architecture IETF Draft – Segment Routing with MPLS Data Plane IETF Draft – Segment Routing interworking with LDP IETF Draft – PCEP Extensions for Segment Routing IETF Draft – OSPF Extensions for Segment Routing IETF Draft – IS-IS Extensions for Segment Routing RFC 8476 – Signaling Maximum SID Depth (MSD) Using OSPF RFC 8491 – Signaling Maximum SID Depth (MSD) Using IS-IS NANOG Presentation on Maximum SID Depth J-RENS Presentation on Segment Routing Experience at ESnet       We would like to thank Cumulus Networks for sponsoring this episode of Network Collective.  Cumulus Networks makes networking software for the open, modern data center. It’s the only open networking software that allows you to affordably build and efficiently operate your network like the worlds largest data center operators. Your company’s success depends on your ability to “future-proof” your network so why would you choose old, legacy infrastructure to stay ahead of your company’s needs?

At different points in our careers it can be difficult to ask for help. Maybe the expectation is that your customer is paying for expertise and you have to demonstrate it. Maybe it’s just embarrassing to admit when you don’t know something. Nobody can know it all though, so knowing when and how to ask for help will save you trouble and pain in your career.
