This is what France looks like when public spending goes towards nuclear plants and Concordes rather than pensions

Being using @coderabbitai for a couple of months at @opsmill_com and it's fantastic! A lot of good comments during reviews, we would have missed them without it.

(and bonus, it's free for OSS)

Aujourd’hui, nous commémorons la victoire sur le nazisme et la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale en #Europe.

80 ans jour pour jour, nous nous souvenons de toutes celles et de tous ceux qui se sont battus pour la liberté et la paix.

Sweden-Latvia Internet cable was reportedly cut on 26 January. Emile Aben reports packet delays between selected #RIPEAtlas anchors increased by 5-20ms at around 00:45 UTC. However, no packet loss was observed suggesting that the Internet successfully routed around the damage.

800GbE is now real.
802.3df was approved as IEEE standard February 16th 2024.
It defines 800 Gb/s Ethernet using 100 Gb/s signaling technology.

It would appear that AS174 (Cogent) and AS2914 (NTT) have depeered in Europe. Causing a decent latency spike between single homed customers on both sides in Europe.

This is not Cogent's first de-peering, their wikipedia page has a mostly complete list https://t.co/rPGD6lTvzL

[BGP.Tools @bgptools]

Orange Spain has had their /12 (+others) broken by (what appears to be) someone breaking into their RIPE account and making RPKI ROA's to somewhere else.

Current reach ability of impacted prefixes is pretty poor

The current ROA is pointing to AS49581 https://t.co/MM8QFL5ufr

@rickjdon @nwkautomaniac Can already see a PacketCoder course being created :p

@John_Capobianco Nice Nornir “Easter egg”

[Benoit Kohler 🇪🇺 @BeArchiTek]

@SystemMTUOne @LabminMe If the core business is not network/infrastructure, network is seen as a cost center.
If it works -> why should we invest?
If it doesn't work -> why did we invest?

[Benoit Kohler 🇪🇺 @BeArchiTek]

@NetEngMike @Warcop @SystemMTUOne @John_Capobianco Having both will clearly help to go faster and adopt new idea or tools.

[Benoit Kohler 🇪🇺 @BeArchiTek]

@SystemMTUOne Rarely a product, so people are not expecting extra-feature -> Lack of innovation/motivation

Evolve fast, but design in place can't follow as fast -> Technical Debt

Full of non-standard configuration forcing distorted SoT -> Lack of flexible SoT
