I had a lots of different roles in my career and I never stopped learning (even tho if at some point I was a bit burned out from the technology :) ). I've been working as a network technician, admin, Technical Marketing Engineer, Product Manager and now Solution Architect. 1/x

It’s been a while since I had to deal with grief. I’ve been finding comfort in watching family photos of Nick. At the same time it reminds me that he’s actually gone. It’s difficult to accept that I won’t see him again. Can’t even imagine what his family is going through.

Back in my days I used this platform because I could interact with experts in my field and seeing content like the one created by @ioshints made my days. Today, I see ads and people doing random crap with their networking devices.... I am old enough to say: "It was better before"

Running a single EBGP Topology with 2x Routers and 2x Linux end hosts for each lab. I am running the same lab but with different vendor OS . 6x lab running total. RAM consumed: 52G.

4 tabs open , 6G of Ram used by Firefox, I left Chrome for that exact reason. Guess they are all RAM hungry browsers... I believe 16-32G RAM is now the standard for any IT employee.

I guess Nvidia doesn't publish any FRR/Cumulus container right ? the official FRR container is very lightweight and require services to be started etc etc ... I guess it's time to build my own FRR container . If anyone has done so recently please feel free to share.

Back in the days, if you needed to ping across your BGP lab on GNS3, you would just add another router. Today, I use lightweight linux container with the same IP addresses on all my topologies: blog.vpackets.net/post/conta…
