Heavy Networking 491: Real-Life Segment Routing & PCE

Segment routing has been a familiar topic at Networking Field Day over the years. The Packet Pushers Heavy Networking podcast recently looked at the topic, digging into the latest evolution of carrier networks. Nick Buraglio was a guest on the podcast and definitely drew on his experience from the Segment Routing Field Day Roundtable during the discussion. While the technology has certainly matured over the past three years, these kinds of discussions are great for getting people up to speed, sparking a deeper interest in specialized topics, and getting to know the prominent voices in the space. Be sure to check out the episode.


Heavy Networking 491: Real-Life Segment Routing & PCE

Back in 2016, Nick Buraglio participated in our Segment Routing Field Day Roundtable, discussing the impact the tech would have on carrier networks. On this episode of Packet Pusher’s Heavy Networking, Nick and Ethan Banks go deep into similar topics like SR-MPLS, SRv6, and PCE, as well as traffic engineering.


Field Area Networking

Cisco’s Networking Field Day presentation on Field Area Networking definitely left an impression with delegate Nick Buraglio. He’s put together a Network Collective Short Take video on the subject, as well as writing up a blog post. He excited because what he saw would provide an alternative to LTE for low power remote IoT devices.

In the most recent “Off the Cuff” episode of Network Collective, the crew discussed what they saw at Networking Field Day last week. What happens when six delegates sit on a podcast together? Magic!


What is your netflow strategy?

Network flow data will only increase as network traffic grows within organizations. Nick Buraglio shares a review of various solutions on how to address and monitor flows, from Solarwinds, Splunk, Arbor, and more. In the end, his takeaway isn’t that one solution is inherently superior. Rather that there are a number of options for budgets and scale, so there’s no reason not to have something
