Unlike POWER[1] and Itanium, you can very easily pick up ARM systems for experimenting with. That means there's way less of a burden to experimenting with new architecture. There's also ARM based Chromebooks and all sorts of dev

I remember back in 2008 when we reached 256k prefixes, the then limit of Cisco 6500 and 7600 routers, which were kind of the workhorses for a bunch of ISPs. Lots of places were buying memory expansion for those devices to cope. 6 years la

About 5 years back they were going through a spell of getting lots of engineers from AWS to join them, offering way more than Amazon was. Some of the smartest and most capable systems engineers I know headed in that direction.
