If youve got an Autonomous System Number (ASN) and an IPv6 block, you too can multi-home IPv6 to your home lab! Sounds easy, right? Well, maybebut today were going to discuss why youd want to and

On todays Heavy Networking: the Security Operations Center, or SOC. When I think of a SOC, I picture a miniature version of NASAs mission control: lots of computers, lots of people, some big boa

When someone from the executive suite starts an AI initiative, what does that mean to you, the network engineer? The executive suite probably doesnt know what their AI idea might mean for i

Your production IT operations are almost certainly using cryptography libraries that are not quantum-safe, and the time to begin planning a cryptography overhaul is now. But this is likely to be a

Monitoring and troubleshooting latency can be tricky. If its in the network, was it the IP stack? A NIC? A switch buffer? A middlebox somewhere on the WAN? If its the application, can you, the net

How might we get network traffic from Earth to a lunar base? Or Mars? Or to spaceships carrying astronauts or probes exploring space? And how do we get it back? The problem, among other things, is

Todays episode is all about high-performance memory in switches. We dig into the differences among TCAM, SRAM, DRAM, and HBM, and all the complex tradeoffs that go into allocating memory resources t

LLMs and AI-powered chatbots are becoming a regular feature of network operations tools and vendor product portfolios. Now the next iteration of AI in network ops and automation is likely to be

Perhaps the biggest question around adopting network automation is whether you should build a solution using open source tools and a lot of coding glue, or buy a network automation platform from a

On Heavy Networking today, AI operations for networking. That is, how do we delegate some amount of responsibility for network operations to artificial intelligence?Cisco is our sponsor, and our
