I was invited by Adam Lange and Adam Haertle to share my story in “rozmowa KONtrolowana” podcast (in Polish). I’d like to thank both of them and of course all of participants for invitation, leading it, questions and nice way to spend time in familiar, geeky environment :) now - just view/listen to it your favorite format :)
starting from tomorrow, we’re launching another edition of PLNOG conference. as usually, I’d like to invite you to join us. I’ll be delivering session about Segment Routing with Piotr Jabłoński during second day of the conference, at 4:15pm. as Segment Routing was already covered couple of times, we’ll focus on practical deployment guide in existing networks. I’ll be also demoing some of the aspects we’ll cover live during the session. see you virtually there! ...
recently thanks to Robert Pająk i’ve had an opportunity to speak at fall edition of Akamai Affinity. as the request was to cover the networking side of innovation, i did my best. actually, that was not so recently - back in november last year, to be exact. but indeed quite recently we’ve released news about our 400Gbit/s switch and on the Cisco Live! at Barcelona we’ve demonstrated for the first time ACI evolution - ACI Anywhere. ACI evolves to bridge hardware and software worlds in more flexible ways, and its latest release enables the whole set of functions with pure software solutions (aka ‘cloud’). ...
plnog, plnog and… it’s gone. twentieth edition - how the time flies… from the beginning we knew it may be hard, but we can make it. ’let’s target 60 people!’ was the second decision after we agreed to ‘do this’ and create PLNOG. 124 of you showed up. i don’t really remember all of the things that happened that day. and that was only 10 years ago! i remember only the fact, that we couldn’t fit you in one of the Cracows Wawel room that Andrzejs team was able to secure for this experiment. i remember i was worried that ‘people won’t come back’ after this, and Andrew was calming me down - as he usually does. ...
after being absent on three PLNOG editions, i finally made it to the conference and to agenda. my presentation slides are here. i tried to cover everything important from networking perspective starting from IMP and ending on NPU, reprogrammable ASICs and what’s lurking in the future. of course if you’ll vote by your surveys, i hope to get back to delivering presentations. what’s interesting is that Krzysztof Kania also picked up architectural topics in his article about first routers - go read! ...
…and that’s good thing. with only two weeks to seventeed edition of PLNOGa we have bunch of interesting news. conference, that we started by discussing BGP, MPLS-TE and RSVP and role of 10GE interfaces (we’re in Europe and that was 2009!), today focuses on deploying SDN, and influence of IoT to service provider networks. we’re also discussing public cloud, hybrid cloud, software defined data centers (SDDC) and consequences of proliferation of overlay networks. our beloved MPLS OAM discussions slowly drop from spotlight in agenda - because again, world is changing. ...
I was taking part of PLNOG for the last two days. i didn’t have opportunity to take part of the last edition and it’s a shame - we created this conference with Andrzej Targosz. a lot changed during last couple of years. but what was always key of the whole PLNOG - community - is only developing. i’m not about the direction, but the sole fact we have a lot of discussions about direction gives hope. ...
on the upcoming thursday, 10th of october at 7pm i’ll do a short talk with Maciej Broniarz from Warsaw University about security from not-so-typical point of view. please register and see you in Leon Koźmiński Academy hall.
Maciej Broniarz invited us to take part in new security focused conference. Aegis (just like Aegis - American integrated naval weapons system) will take place on 2nd and 3rd July at University of Warsaw. i hope that most of you will decide to take part of it, as judging from agenda. together with Maciej we’d like to also have a panel on DDoS attacks, and then we’ll deliver session together - ‘security by duct tape’. in other words, we’re going to show you best examples of security practices to avoid following. ...
next thursday, april 11th, i’ll be visiting Warsaw University on invitation from Maciej Broniarz to have a chat about security from service provider point of view. note it will be mechnism and best practice related talk, not vendor pitch. i’ll mention blackholing as well ;) i may have some gadgets and freebies to give away - so please prepare good questions and see you there!
