The Everything Feed - All Packet Pushers Pods

Today on the Tech Bytes podcast we look at how to get better visibility into the WAN. Our sponsor is Cisco ThousandEyes and we’re going to discuss its latest capability, called WAN Insights, that analyzes WAN performance data to help remove SD-WAN blind spots and give network engineers a better understanding of whether their providers are delivering as promised.

This week's Network Break podcast discusses new switch hardware from Juniper, the underwhelming outage response by Canadian ISP Rogers, and why SASE growth is exploding. Intel is said to be raising prices across a variety of chips, a security researcher has demonstrated a replay attack that can open and start Honda vehicles, and more.

DNS is our subject on today's Heavy Networking. More specifically, DNS transport over TCP. We talk with John Kristoff, one of the forces behind RFC9210, which covers the operational requirements for DNS transport over TCP. This is not an esoteric document covering a tiny, nuanced DNS use case. Instead this doc will likely affect most of you listening, whether you’re a network operator or a name server operator. We talk with John about the implications of this RFC.

In this episode, the IPv6 Buzz crew talk about IPv6 transition technologies – especially NAT64/DNS64 – and what design considerations come into play when deploying them.

Today's Day Two Cloud turns the nerd knob to eleven as we delve into kernels, eBPF, sidecar proxies, and service meshes. If you're an old-school engineer used to working with load balancers and proxies, this show looks at new ways to do application delivery in the Kubernetes world.

Take a Network Break! This week we cover two separate indictments against alleged schemers who sold counterfeit Cisco gear and pirated Avaya license keys. We also cover new products from Juniper Networks, VMware, and HPE. Meanwhile Starlink targets maritime vessels with a satellite broadband offering.

Heavy Strategy is a new podcast from Packet Pushers. We look at the strategy and business of IT Infrastrucrure in two-sided debate format. We believe that the questions are more important than the answers since its all your responsibility anyway.

On today's Heavy Networking podcast we talk with sponsor Arelion about how it continues to build and maintain global IP networks, and why you should be considering them for your backhaul needs.

In this IPv6 Buzz episode we talk about the benefit of IPv6 connectivity when IPv4 fails. We examine the types of IPv4 failures, how IPv6 behaves during IPv4 failure, application dependencies, and more.

On Day Two Cloud we’ve had a lot of conversations about using infrastructure as code. We’ve looked at solutions like Ansible, Terraform, the AWS CDK, and Pulumi. Which begs the question, which IaC solution should you learn? A Domain Specific Language (DSL)? A General Purpose Programming Language (GPPL)? Something else? We discuss.
