The Routing Table Podcast

The Internet Society supports and promotes the development of the Internet as a global technical infrastructure, a resource to enrich people's lives, and a force for good in society. Our work aligns with our goals for the Internet to be open, globally-connected, secure, and trustworthy.

In this episode Rick and Melchior invited Rolf Schaerer from Pensando Systems and ask him all how Pensando redefines the Netwok Server Edge.

"A New Way of Thinking About Next-Gen Cloud Architectures" leveraging a custom, programmable P4 processor Pensanso refers to as Capri. Capri is optimized to execute a software stack delivering cloud, compute, network, storage, and security services at cloud scale. Capri is easily installed in any standard server via the Pensando Distributed Services Card (DSC). The DSC provides software-defined services at the server edge, eliminating an assortment of discrete appliances throughout the data center and simplifying IT operations.

In this episode Kaliraj will explain to us what BGP Classful Transport (BGP-CT) is and how it works. BGP-CT is a mechanism, referred to as "service mapping", to express association of overlay routes with underlay routes satisfying a certain SLA, using BGP.  It is a framework for classifying underlay routes into transport classes, and mapping service routes to specific transport class.
The "Transport class" construct maps to a desired SLA, and can be used to realize the "Topology Slice" in 5G Network slicing architecture.

BGP-CT is still work in progress in IETF. The draft can be found here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-kaliraj-idr-bgp-classful-transport-planes/
The authors welcome feedback and input for the draft.

In this episode Tony tells us all about a new feature he is working on, Auto-EVPN to ease and simplify datacenter EVPN operations. The IETF draft has recently been published: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-head-rift-auto-evpn-00.

Wojciech explains what Quantum Networking/Internet is and what it's not. Rick and Melchior ask Wojciech all about entanglement, fidelity, qubits, Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), spooky action at a distance and his work in the IETF Quantum Internet Research Group (QIRG).

Happy New Year from your Routing Table Podcast hosts Rick & Melchior. Thank you for listening in 2020. We hope you'll stick with us in 2021!

Is a good network design just about technical specifications or should you take into account business drivers and needs? James is a network design veteran and presented on this topic at UKNOF45. We talk about design considerations, tips and tricks, drivers and motivations, asking the question behind the question and even about a book that is 'in the works'. James is very active on Twitter, LinkedIn and can be reached via jwbensley@gmail.com.

In this episode Rick and Melchior ask Juniper Networks CEO Rami Rahim all about his career, his pathway to becoming CEO and what it takes, how his journey looked liked and what his future goals are.

In this episode Rick and Melchior explore with 4x JNCIE and Juniper Network Ambassador Yasmin Lara what the value of certifications is. Do you still need them and are they still relevant for your career?
Yasmin has her own website https://momcanfixanything.com/

NLnet Labs is a not-for-profit foundation with a long heritage in research and development, Internet architecture and governance, as well as stability and security in the area of DNS and inter-domain routing.

In this episode you will hear all about doing good for the internet with open source, DNS and RPKI.

In this episode Rick and Melchior discuss with Dino Farinacci how LISP can help solve internet challenges.
We touch on FIB scaling, mobility, IPv4 runout, COVID-19 and digital voting apps, blockchain and quantum internet.

In this episode of The Routing Table Podcast Rick and Melchior ask Juniper Networks Distinguished Engineer Julian Lucek everything about Segment Routing.
We start with some basics and discuss differences between SR-MPLS, SRv6 and SRm6. We also look into why choosing one over the other.

In this episode Job Snijders shares some of his perspective on the current state of the Internet. 

As you can expect when talking to Job, one of the topics is BGP Routing Security. We also touch on his work in IETF, OpenBSD, transit vs peering and IPv4 address exhaustion.

In this episode we discuss with John Scudder how to drive an idea to a standard via the standards organisation IETF.
John is a IETF veteran and tells us all about workgroups, chairs, drafts and RFCs.

Nathalie Trenaman is the Routing Security Programme Manager at RIPE NCC. Rick & Melchior ask her everything about what RIPE NCC does, why should we care about Routing Security, RPKI and of course we talk about if and how we can get IPv4 address space.

In this first episode of The Routing Table Podcast Rick & Melchior ask the new Juniper Networks CTO Raj about his career, why he joined Juniper and what his 100 days plan looks like.
