ICMP packets pretty much always carry some data (even though it's not _strictly_ required). This data is what is padded when the user asks for a ping with a specific packet size (e.g., when debugging MTU issues). In some applications,

Oh, it definitely is (re: SF being into neighbourhoods)! Cool project. Kudos on recognising “Fairmount” versus lobbing it in with Glen Park or Noe Valley. (I don’t /really/ have a complex about this - but the neighbourhood does ha

As always, Bruce raises a good discussion here, but I’m disappointed in the lack of depth of this analysis. The article, to me, characterises this as a religious discussion, choosing between simple ECMP/multipath and MPLS-TE. I think

I am coeliac (en-US: celiac), a condition that I (along with a number of other things) contracted after contracting an infection in 2019. One of the symptoms that many of those that suffer from coeliac disease suffer from is getting brain f

So, what does one who needs a off-road capable/large storage vehicle do? I do not drive to commute. I have a large dog, bicycles, camping gear, ski gear, etc. that are the things that accompany me and my passengers during trips. By thi

I don't understand what this means. This was not a defence of MPLS, but rather an observation that says that the fundamental domains and business logic around externally-selected TE paths do not change because we change what header ins

SRv6 is not going to transform the quality of experience/quality of service that you see from Internet applications. Traffic engineering technologies like this (MPLS-based, IP-based, emulated circuit based...) are used inside networks

The most important thing for you to identify is what the key characteristics of the person that you're trying to hire are -- can you teach them the technology if they don't know it, but it's key that they're able to inte

I wholeheartedly agree with this comment. An industry mentor of mine who runs a R&D for a large, and successful software/hardware business unit once explained their approach to building teams in a really interesting manner to me. T

There is no single answer that is going to be universally applicable (surprise, surprise :-)). Oftentimes, the right design is going to be informed by some view of the practicalities of actually trying to implement it. Equally, there will b

There's no reason operators can't show-up, and a bunch of us do - however, it requires significantly more time investment than posting to NANOG. In some of my professional roles this has been easy to get, in others (especially sm

Job is definitely managing to make some great progress, which is impressive. There aren't a huge number of folks that have the time and effort that is required to push these things through. I've worked for an operator all the time

A challenge of the IETF generally is that it is very solution-driven. There are many, many solutions that are proposed per meeting, and the barrier to proposing a document is very low. This is good for hearing different ideas (counter to on

I had this a couple of weeks ago -- order placed, waited over an hour and the order was then cancelled. They (UberEats) "couldn't find a driver". Spoke with their customer support, who offered me 50% off if I re-ordered, so w
