Indeed! This book is likely to be 100x more interesting than your local college's undergrad networks course. The dozen or so principles Varghese lays out for writing fast networking code is reason enough to pick it up. The writing is v

Don't be too discouraged by job postings requiring an EE or CE degree. At my last two companies (a network gear vendor and a hosted VoIP provider), our postings stated EE/CE was preferred for new grads, but what we really needed w

If you are on a system that doesn't have tshark, tcpdump provides the same functionality via the -C <file_size_in_MB> -W <num_files> flags. e.g. -C 100 -W 200 -w somefile will get you the same circular ring of 200 100MB fil

Nothing sexual was implied by my comment, though I do see how the word is problematic. "Seminal" is so frequently used to describe early and influential bands in punk, including Riot Grrrl, that the etymology is rarely considered.

The title is a reference to the song "Rebel Girl" by the seminal Riot Grrrl band Bikini Kill.

A great talk if you have 40 minutes to spare, here is a summary for those that don't: - the networking community has backed itself into a crufty transition that will involve a ton of NATs and ALGs due to the deferment of v6 roll-outs by inc

The trouble is, you'd have an easier time selling the scraps of your lunch than you would a home in Vegas. Condos that were going for $180K in my old neighborhood are now at $30K and still going down. It's going to be a looong time before

While I don't argue with the title of the article - bandwidth caps really are just a way to deal with infrastructure costs by passing it on to some consumers - the use of IP transit as a reference for an ISPs cost of service is inaccurate.

Backbone capacity is not nearly as big of an issue, despite traffic growth. Long haul DWDM systems get denser, higher bit rate transponders get built, etc to push more bits across the same fiber.

Whoever can pay to lease a conduit would have access to it, I'd imagine. The company that leases the conduit would be responsible for buying the glass, pulling it, and splicing it. I imagine a contractor would be selected to repair and mai

I doubt that the conduit that would be installed would result in more ubiquitous wired broadband coverage or for higher speeds to existing wired broadband users. More likely, it would allow mobile carrier to install suitable size data backh

This. Off the top of my head, I can think of the following areas where Cisco has fallen off or missed the boat in the last decade: optical transport, MetroE/mobile backhaul, carrier VoIP(BTS and the like, not IP PBX), metro IP routing. I ca

Definitely inaccurate, but how inaccurate is a bit cloudy. The NV gaming control board/gaming commission isn't exactly transparent when it comes to what the cash requirements are (on-site or in the bank) for non-restricted casinos. http:/

Yep. Level3 more or less decided to start offering a CDN service without setting up an actual CDN. Or at least one that provides any benefit to Comcast (or as Comcast would argue, their customers). As mentioned in the thread, this is compo
