This Weekly Show episode was recorded live at IETF 96 in Berlin in July 2016. Greg Ferro and several guests discuss the state of routing protocols such as BGP, and explore different approaches to routing, like Facebook’s Open/R initiative.
They also debate issues around telemetry, network disaggregation, and whether enterprises should participate in the IETF to influence vendor product development.
Joining Greg in the conversation are Jeff Tantsura, Director Product Management, Head of Technology Strategy Routing at Ericsson, and the chair of the Routing Area working group at the IETF; and Dr. Tony Przygienda, a distinguished engineer at Juniper Networks and chair of the Bit Indexed Explicit Replication (bier) working group at the IETF.
Also weighing in is Russ White, network architect, author, and blogger.
If you like routing and are ready to get nerdy, this one’s for you!
