Packet Pushers - Priority Queue

While attending an influencers event at Intel in Portland, Oregon I got into a discussion with Kelsey Hightower @kelseyhightower and Keith Townsend @ctoadvisor on the nature of Docker networking and its plugin architecture.

In this podcast, Packet Pushers co-host Ethan Banks gets a bit into the weeds with University of Maryland's Dave Levin in this detailed discussion of Alibi Routing, a privacy-driven research project to prove that traffic flowing between a particular source and destination did not traverse a specific geographic region.

Rich Brown chats with Ethan Banks about CoDel, an algorithm specifically designed to minimize the impact of bufferbloat. Rich and Ethan explain how CoDel works, and discuss the head-drop principle, sojourn times, TCP ECN, and more. This is a nerdy look at how your modem handles buffering, and how you can improve your home networking experience.

This sponsored Priority Queue looks at the realities of using NSX in production, discusses practical customer use cases for network virtualization, and examines issues raised by listeners about NSX.

LISP (Locator/ID Separation Protocol) separates the IP host address from the routing path to improve scalability. Join us to find out what's new with LISP.

IPv6 is inevitable, but what's the real rate of adoption in North America? Join Ethan Banks and Alain Fiocco as they discuss the state of the protocol, share educational opportunities, and offer tips to get your vendors to fully embrace IPv6.

Network engineer Joel Spencer arrived at work one morning to complaints of intermittent disconnects between applications. Packet captures showed mysterious missing bytes in packets. Join us for this true tale of real-life troubleshooting that everyone can learn from.

If software developers and network driver writers can make their own packets, can t you? Ah, right...you re not a developer. Your coding-fu is weak, as is mine. Still, there s hope for us in an open source tool called Ostinato. Ostinato calls itself Wireshark in reverse. With Ostinato, you can make your own packets, custom crafting them any way you like. Today on the Packet Pushers Priority Queue, we re talking with one of the Ostinato creators, Srivats P.

LightCyber Magna Active Breach Detection automatically detects active attackers by identifying the anomalous operational behaviors sourced from compromised hosts in your network. By focusing on actual attack behaviors, and not technical artifacts like signatures, Magna provides accurate breach indicators and eliminates excessive false positives.

On this Packet Pushers Priority Queue episode, we chat with Cisco's Jim Guichard and Paul Quinn about the topic of Network Service Header (NSH). What is NSH meant to be? What might we use NSH for? What will it take to make NSH a widely adopted reality? This is a follow up to Show 238, where Greg was not feeling the NSH magic. The plan was to show Greg the light. Did Jim and Paul succeed?

Introducing CloudGenix, an SD-WAN company that not only reduces WAN management problems, but also makes it easier to enforce business policy in the cloud.

Subash Bohra from Alcatel Lucent Enterprise and Toshal Dudwhala from NEC America join Packet Pushers Greg Ferro and Ethan Banks in a discussion about SDN in the data center.

Chris Wahl of WahlNetwork.com and co-author of Networking for VMware Administrators joins Ethan Banks for a discussion of when -- and when NOT -- to use VMkernel bindings when doing iSCSI plumbing between VMware hosts and storage arrays.

Saisei does Network Performance Enhancement that delivers visibility and control of the network traffic in a different way. In this show, we examine how software and algorithms provide visibility and control of network traffic. Traffic management for the next decade.

I was lucky enough to attend the Powering the Cloud Conference in October last year. While I was there I say down with Federica Monsone from A3 Communications to talk about the role of PR, Marketing and Social media. While we poke fun at marketing it is a deadly serious business. We need our vendors [...]
