A mixed bag of topics this week, some from people who have written in and some more general topics.
Capacity planning a firewall or router – what are the issues and technical limitations
Why are we using 1Gb Ethernet ports at the access layer when we don’t need them ?
A look at the Skype outage – Skype’s Blog
Using EIGRP as the IGP in an MPLS core – why not ?
This week we hear from HP on their Network Certification program. Rebekah Harvey, Director of Product Management for HP Global Certification and Learning got in the hot seat and answered our questions on their program.
Comparing Cisco Cius and the iPad in the Enterprise
Jennifer Huber, Andrew von Nagy, and Chris Lyttle discuss 802.11n adoption in the enterprise (driven by iPads and iPhones today, and Android in the future) as well as personal hotspots, fast roaming, and Keith Parsons’ move to Ruckus.
This week on the Packet Pushers we had Josh O’Brien, Jeremy Filliben, and Marko Milivojevic discussing myths of IT, Cisco’s marketing past and future, and what you do during your commute.
It was planned to have a discussion around L2 Data Centre connection the VMworld in Copenhagen but Scott and I could not meetup. So we recorded this podcast to start talking about some of the issues, technology and solutions. I’m not sure that we have all the technology or knowledge in place, so keep watching for more discussions in the future.
In this Runt Packet we talk to Bob Napaa from Virtensys about their Virtual I/O solution for servers. What’s especially different is that their solution doesn’t use networking…..tune in for more details.
Scott Lowe and I planned to have a discussion around L2 Data Centre connection the VMworld 2010 in Copenhagen but Scott and I could not meetup. So we recorded this podcast to start talking about some of the issues, technology and solutions on L2 DCI. I’m not sure that we have all the technology or knowledge in place, so keep watching for more discussions in the future. We have only scratched the surface. If anyone else wants to discuss the topic, please get int contact as more would be better.
Guests This Week Blake Krone blakekrone.com (@blakekrone) Rocky Gregory (intensified.com, @bionic_rocky) Chris Lyttle (wifikiwi.com @wifikiwi).
This week we are joined by Ken Henault from HP. Ken is a leader in the VirtualConnect product from HP. In the past, Greg has ranted about the the VirtualConnect product and how crap it looks so we got in touch to ‘go at it’ and see if he can be convinced that VC has value. How did it go ? ….. you be the judge.
