Eric Chou joins Tom and Russ to talk about the importance of creating content, and the many tools and ideas you can use to get out there and publish. You've heard us talk about this a lot--now it's time to get out there and publish.
A lot of people are spending time thinking about how to make transport and control plane protocols more energy efficient. Is this effort worth it? What amount of power are we really like to save, and what downside potential is there in changi
Cloud services are all the rage right now, but are they worth it? There are many aspects to the question, and the answer is almost always going to be "it depends." Do you really need to spin up capacity more quickly than you can buy hardware
We've been talking about many of the same things in networking since the late 1980s--autonomous, self-driving, autonomic, etc.--and yet ... those things all still seem like some sort of Jetson's cartoon episode. Why aren't we there yet? Are t
Most providers will only accept a /24 or shorter IPv4 route because routers have always had limited amounts of forwarding table space. In fact, many hardware and software IPv4 forwarding implementations are optimized for a /24 or shorter pref
We hear a lot about BGP security incidents--but what is really going on? How often do these happen, and how much damage do they do? Doug Madory, who monitors these things for Kentik, joins Russ White and Tom Ammon to talk about BGP security i
One thing we often hear about automation is that its hard because there are so many different interfaces. On this episode of the Hedge, Daniel Teycheney joins Ethan Banks and Russ White to discuss how they started from a simple idea and ende
Reading people from the past can sometimes show us where today's blind spots are--but sometimes we can just find the blind spots of the people who lived then. In this episode of the Hedge, Tom, Eyvonne, and Russ finish going through a selecti
Network operators increasingly rely on generic hosts, rather than specialized routers (appliances) to forward traffic. Much of the performance on hosts relies on offloading packets switching and processing to specialized hardware on the netwo
Network configuration analysis has always been the domain of commercial-grade software. Batfish changes all that with an open source, community-supported tool that can find errors and guarantees the correctness of planned or current network
How many times have you heard you should "shift left" in the last few years? What does "shift left" even mean? Even if it had meaning once, does it still have any meaning today? Should we abandon the concept, or just the term? Listen in as Ch
How much have you thought about the way you learn--or how to effectively teach beginners? There is a surprising amount of research into how humans learn, and how best to create material to teach them. In this roundtable episode, Tom, Eyvonne,
Have you ever thought about publishing a book or recording a professional video? It's not as simple as proposing an idea, doing the work, and becoming famous (or infamous, as the case might be). Eric Chou joins Rick Graziani and Russ to talk
User interface design is notoriously bad for networking gear--but why, and what can we do about it? Frank Seesink joins Tom and Russ to talk about user interface stupidity.
The Internet of Things (IoT) has been brewing for many years--but how do all these new devices impact your network? Are there new concepts and architectures you need to learn to get a handle on IoT? Jasbir Singh, author of a new book on IoT a
What does it mean to be a network engineer in today's world of information technology? Phil Gervasi joins Tom and Russ to discuss the ins and outs of network engineering, and what it's really like to be in this small corner of information tec
As we reach the end of what has been a hard two-year stretch for what seems like the entire world, Ethan Banks joins Tom, Eyvonne, and Russ to talk about the importance of taking care of yourself. In the midst of radical changes, you can appl
For this month's roundtable, Eyvonne, Tom, and I return to Addresses to Engineering Students by Harrington and Waddell. This book, published in 1912, is a "product of its time," and hence deserves some trigger warnings. But it is also interes
Terry Slattery joins Tom and Russ to continue the conversation on network automation—and why networks are not as automated as they should be. This is part one of a two-part series; the first part of this conversation was posted as episode 203
Terry Slattery joins Tom and Russ to continue the conversation on network automation—and why networks are not as automated as they should be. This is part one of a two-part series; the second part will be published in two weeks as Hedge episo
How is the Internet governed? Who sets the rules for the Internet, civil society, and government control? How much input should techies have, and how much should government control things? These are questions we don't often ask, and yet are c
It's time to gather round the hedge and discuss whatever Eyvonne, Tom, and Russ find interesting! In this episode we discuss business logic vulnerabilities, and how we often forget to think outside the box to understand the attack surfaces th
We've been on a long streak of discussions about automation, why it works, why it isn't working, and what the networking industry can do about it. For this episode, we're joined by the indubitable Ethan Banks. f you don't think there's anythi
Automation is a big topic--folks had a lot of feedback on our first couple of Hedge episodes on the topic. We return to automation in this episode of the Hedge with Carl Buchmann to discuss one effort at unifying automation with humble beginn
Automation is a bit of theme recently on the Hedge. In this episode we're joined by Wim Henderickx to talk about the Linux Foundation Nephio project, which adapts Kubernetes management into a cloud native network management platform. This new
