I see a lot of math and graphs. What I don’t see is an indication that the author understands the problem. Is he an experienced salesman? (The opening struck me as rather reductive, so my inclination is to believe that the analysis is proceeding from false premises.)

  Showing a lot of math and graphs, while not understanding the problem, qualifies the author as a _very experienced_ salesman. /s

The last paragraph about Zoom calls for 10,000 people stood out to me. We've been working on own visualization of what happens inside a network when everyone returns to the office. https://wan-visualization.vivoh.com https://wan-visualization.vivoh.com If you are interested in the above article and have comments on what we are doing, please let me know. chris@vivoh.com.

Good on vivoh for continuing to try to help enterprises to get it, literally.

  OP here. That is hilarious and fascinating. The blog has been in desperate need of some TLC for a while and I am sure godaddy/wp without ssl is definitely not a best practice these days. Would implementing an ssl cert help? What do people use for minimal self-hosted blogs (read only, no comments, etc) these days? Medium feels like a trap.
