Every network vendor has an "AI-powered" story right now. Most of them are 10% of the actual solution. I broke down what the other 90% looks like after watching Aviz Networks demo their AI NOC platform at Network Field Day. #NFD #Networking #NetOps #AI

Autonomie scheitert nicht an schlechter AI, sondern an schlechter Architektur.

Skalierende Teams sind nicht smarter – sie sind besser designed. Sie behandeln Telemetry als Produkt, validieren mit Digital Twins und bauen Rollback ein. Auch das Human System muss mitgedacht werden. #AI #Automation #NetOps - Link im 2. Post

Как в Авито построили систему мониторинга BGP

Всем привет! Меня зовут Антон Ильичев, я сетевой инженер в Авито. В этой статье расскажу, зачем мы централизованно собираем и анализируем маршрутную информацию с сетевых устройств, причём тут протокол BMP и как устроена наша система мониторинга. В конце вас будет ждать лаба на docker-compose, которую вы можете запустить у себя и посмотреть на систему в действии. Статья будет полезна в первую очередь сетевым инженерам, командам SRE и мониторинга, которые отвечают за доступность и качество сервиса.

Is #RANCID still alive in production environments?

We’re considering integration with #NetXMS and trying to estimate real-world usage.

Do you use it?

Sometimes figuring out whats happening over time in the Mikrotik changelogs isn't as easy as it should be..... I made a tool to display changelog entries and data in different ways, as well as searching all changelogs for keywords. (MLAG for instance is a good search keyword).

This is still in really early public availability, but its been useful for 2 out of 2 people I shared it with and so I expect it will be useful for a wider audience.

Just had a discussion on routable #IPv4 address space. This lead me to check #Bogon IP address space. I briefly fetched a public bogon list of a large provider, parsed the CIDR blocks and calculated the number of IPv4 addresses. Dividing this by 0.0.0.0/0 eventually lead to the discovery that 13.89% of the IPv4 address space is non-routable. Way more than I had anticipated.

Your daily dose of #netops knowledge... :)

Looking for a sponsoring LIR for my ASN.
I run a small non‑commercial network with a WireGuard uplink via Route64 and plan a second upstream (HE POP) for redundancy and BGP/IPv6 learning.
I can maintain IRR/RPKI. Any LIR willing to sponsor an ASN is welcome.
