Loving the new colourway on the latest @JuniperNetworks SRXs. @ramirahim - given the push for greener data centers it might be time to replace the “deny” action in security policies with “drop-but-recycle” 😛 juniper.net/us/en/products/s…

I’m sad bc there are soooo many programs out there designed to get girls & women interested in coding/programming… but really nothing for Network Engineering. & NetEng is at LEAST as cool as coding. How do we fix this? 🤔

Just got hit by a car and they drove over my axe. 😭 Shout out to @protec helmets for keeping my hair (and head) immaculate while I was bouncing off their rear door at speed. Pad up kids! @ZFlexSkateboard do you reckon she’ll mend? 😉

It's 6-8 months away from publication, but I've decided to write another professional (and 100% free) whitepaper detailing the largest, most advanced MPLS design I've ever done. Includes core, edge, IGP, BGP, QoS, and management aspects. RT if interested to help spread the word!

MPLS=>RSVP=>CSPF

MPLS=>RSVP=>CSPF

I was asked about the difference between RSVP and CSPF, and I thought: “hmm, that would probably be like comparing a car’s engine with the car’s GPS”. You definitively need the engine to go anywher…
