Sometimes we just like to talk about "life issues" as they relate to network engineering and technology career fields. Loneliness seems to especially plague network engineering and other "small" IT fi

Do planned economies, like China, have an advantage in deploying IPv6? What do the numbers on the DFZ show? George Michaelson joins Russ and Tom to discuss.

It's time again for Tom, Eyvonne, and Russ to talk about current articles they've run across in their day-to-day reading. This time we talk about WiFi in the home, how often users think a global probl

Is quantum really an immediate and dangerous threat to current cryptography systems, or are we pushing to hastily adopt new technologies we won't necessarily need for a few more years? Should we allow

We all know netops, NRE, and devops can increase productivity, increase Mean Time Between Mistakes (MTBM), and decrease MTTR--but how do we deploy and use these tools? We often think of the technical

We network engineers often find ourselves without a viable plan--our plans always seem to go awry, to the point that many network engineers just give up on planning. Is "giving up" the right solution?

On this episode of the Hedge, Anil Varanasi joins Russ to talk about the complexities of network operations and what Meter is doing in this space. - note: even though this is a more product-heavy epis

What is the relationship between blockchain technologies and network engineering? Is blockchain "just another application," or are there implications for naming, performance, and connectivity? Austi

When you think of careers in network engineering, you probably think of being a console jockey, racking and stacking and configuring boxes. There is, however, much larger than just these things. Eth

Returning to a thread here at the Hedge, Rick Graziani joins Tom and Russ to discuss a college professor's perspective on why network engineers should learn the theory, and not just the configuration.
