Listened to a presentation today from someone with an accent that made every instance of “configuration” sound like “conflagration” instead. Thinking about this further, sometimes there’s little difference between the two. #NetEng

Dear Fediverse, I am lost and need some help with #neteng planning. I run a small environment, we're eventually going to need an ASN. We already lease IPv4 from IPXO, but they are announced by our sole transit provider. I eventually want to have another provider and then #bgp all the things, but that requires an ASN and a handle at one the registries. RIPE is very forward and transparent about how it works, and fees, but I live in the US. So I think I need to use ARIN, which is...opaque. (cont)

At TORNOG 1 in a Nokia automation workshop. They're talking about gRIBI and I'm suddenly craving a steak. #NetEng

Taking a break from the day to day for an awesome event in Toronto. #NetEng https://tornog.ca/events/tornog-1/

Hm. RADIUS bandwidth profile was defined as 1024/8192 B/s instead of 1024/8192 KB/s. I now have an explanation for the angry tickets from a few customers. Easily corrected. I also know that my traffic restrictions are working correctly… if not as intended. #Oops #NetEng

I heard IPv4 referred to as telnet-era IP yesterday. Made me smile. #NetEng #IPv6

Many years ago Jim Warner started a page dedicated to documenting port buffers on network hardware, which has become the de facto source for much of this information. Since Jim's passing a few year ago this site has been taken down and restored a few times. In keeping with his tradition and to help the community, I have mirrored and expanded the site with significantly more platforms and chipsets. https://port-buffers.forwardingplane.net #neteng #networkengineering

I’m wondering if @mikrotik has thought of adding “access point” on the back of these? Maybe taking the joke a little too far? https://merch.mikrotik.com/products/groove-boxer-briefs #WiFi #NetEng #Merch
