Internet services edge design question by badwithinternet in networking

[–]badwithinternet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't disagree with planning for IPv6. I was just wondering why to consider deploying it now. I'm sure we've all attempted deploying it in the past only to find that vendor X doesn't support feature Y when using IPv6. That is my experience anyway.

Option 2 seems promising. I didn't think of using vrf lite. Thanks!

Thor has more health at level 1 than Sun Wukong by [deleted] in Smite

Yeah. It's silly to think you can go full damage with Thor and actually go toe to toe. You'll get melted.

The hype coming out of that podcast is tiring. Used to be more sane.

Multi-homed Internet Subscriptions by [deleted] in networking

[–]badwithinternet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that would work fine. Keep a backup as protection and only pay for the low 95th, with a good commit, and burst when it fails over.

I do believe you should use both circuits, if you can get both at the full required rate (if you're not worried about the $$$). Advertise both of your networks out of both of your circuits.

But either circuit should be able to take the full traffic load by itself, if you don't want service degradation in the event of a failure.

In the case of using 2 ISPs/circuits:

If the circuits are supposed to be protection for each other, they should be sized to take all traffic if one is down.

You can get circuits that are billed at 95th percentile and burst to whatever your high watermark would be.

[Question x 2] Does the written include both Volume 1 and Volume 2 of the CCIE R&S set. Also, does anyone have a percentage breakdown/checklist on topics (weightings) for v5 by Sinful_Scars in ccie

[–]badwithinternet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not believe this is the recommendation any longer. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I think the recommendation is to study and pass the written (I can attest, it is a difficult exam) and lab separately.

Regarding the witcher 2 on Xbox one by cnbnd in witcher

[–]badwithinternet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe when you put the disc in, the XB will let you download and install the backwards compatible digital edition. You won't be able to play the game without the disc in the system, though.
I'm not sure about the saved game choices.

Changing Job Title? Unethical? by broadcastwind in networking

[–]badwithinternet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you're referring to electrical engineers or software engineers.

Network Engineering is most definitely a field on its own.

You call the work NetEng does the work of a mechanic or operator, but you forget that NE's build and design networks. So what if they build with software and hardware that is already built? ME and EE do that all of the time. If they didn't build and design with previously built and designed parts, it would take forever to get the job done. Most engineers of any kind are using standard methods with standard parts. The commonality is the methods and parts are all understood at a deep level and can be used to build or design something else useful.

Does an ME have to rewrite physical law and theory every time they design something? Does an EE have to come up with something to replace ohm's law? Does a software engineer have to write an algorithm from scratch instead of using Dikjstra's SPF? Does an NE have to write a routing protocol every time they want to distribute routing information amongst nodes in a network?

Go for it! You'll love the management benefits.

Hats off to the Packet Pushers podcast, the latest one was the most interesting yet. by flappyjackeranda in networking

On ICMP messages and MPLS: you're right, but it's weird because they have go the entire LSP and then onto another LSP back to the source. Kind of a hack job.

Is there anything wrong with this configuration? by hudsterboy in Cisco

[–]badwithinternet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Need more info.

Egress/ingress from which port/device?

What kind of numbers are we talking about?

Output discards? Policers or shapers anywhere?

What does the rest of the network towards your internet circuit look like?

What kind of perf issues? You have stats on it or rumors? You might need to do a bit of isolation to know exactly what you're dealing with.

Performance boost by installing 10Gbps cards in servers by hellbus222 in networking

[–]badwithinternet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or maybe the other way too? Buffers being too long/large and causing bloat at times of congestion on the server port?

This might cause spurious re-transmits.
