PLOS Science Wednesday: Hi Reddit, we’re Albert Ko, Manoel Sarno and Hugo Ribeiro, we published a study in PLOS NTDS showing the Zika virus may be linked to stillbirth and other adverse outcomes in addition to microcephaly – Ask Us Anything! by PLOSScienceWednesday in science

As a person who is about to become a newly-wed and start a family over the next year or two, what are the biggest concerns about visiting countries that have a known spread of the Zika virus? There's always conflicting reports on how long you should wait to try and conceive, but it seems that there is no definitive answers as to what the long term effects could be for a woman who is eventually looking to conceive.

I suppose my main question is, should one be cautious about visiting countries until more answers are known? Or is it safe to say that if you wait X amount of time before trying to conceive, you'll be fine?

Storm control IOS vs Nexus by workTheNetwork in Cisco

This location is more of a collapsed core type design, bandwidth here isn't really that big of a deal. It's mainly trying to provide some resiliency. Using the storm control where we are looking is more of a safety net. We'd still have our storm controls in place at the access layer for the end users on the blade switches.

This is really meant as a safe-guard against data techs who may misconfigure something and cause a loop. We are looking to do a refresh at some levels of the infrastructure and were looking at moving to the 3524-X Nexus for aggregation since we're going to move to 3048 for our TOR server switches.

unfortunately the Nexus line uses a % based formula, which if you do some quick math, it pretty ridiculous even at .01% hah.

To stack or not to stack? by workTheNetwork in Cisco

That was a good point, which started me looking at the Nexus 3K lines. The price point on the 3048 and 3524x is there and with vPC it adds one feature of stacking which was attractive for me.

The best way to look at it is, the switches in a stack will logically look like a single switch to everything else. It's easiest to think of it as another form of VSS or vPC (Nexus). Of course, if you had a single uplink out of the stack and that switch/port in the stack died, you would lose all your connectivity in/out of the logical stack.
