Thanks for making me feel old! I had started school before she was born.

I'd say it's a problem with the over-representation by older men in politics in general globally. But people like this just makes the barrier higher for the next qualified one.

My colleagues are great, love 'em!

As I see it; The AI-bubble is inflated to an extent that should make any financial institution shiver.

I'm curious to see if what we saw on the stock market yesterday was a deflation or a pop.

A flight on Turkish hairlines is a thing, a massive thing.

Ben cartwright-cox has a pretty good(and entertaining) presentation where he addresses getting an RFC through the IETF: "BGP Send Hold Timer - Addressing stuck routes".

I saw him present it at NONOG 6 last year, recording here: benjojo.co.uk/talks/send-h...

I will add, the threshold for a fuckup-cake is influenced a lot by how much we crave cake.

We have a tradition at work, if you fuck up on a big enough scale.

You have to bring cake the next workday, serve cake and tell everyone what happened.

You learn, your peers learn and you spin a bad feeling into a wholesome thing.

I don't think they'd be too shaky in the saddle at the sight of an army of Cybertrucks at the border.

I think they'd be shakier at the sight of a few divisions of porn-addicted North Korean soldiers... Unless the yanks have banned porn already, then they're probably just there to be buddies.

For Windows clients my assumption would be that SMB and the whole workgroup machinery now uses mDNS, as NetBIOS is getting deprecated.

Whether the instances I have seen have been due to correct design or policies that should have disabled it is unknown to me.
January 13, 2025 at 3:04 PM
I've just observed the from the outside, through working for an ISP, where silly amounts of mDNS traffic has wreaked havoc for enterprises, in instances where they have also been dependent on IGMP as part of their service.
January 13, 2025 at 3:00 PM
Also: things can quickly get spicy if you don't just flood multicast. Your switches might not be capable of handling that much IGMP traffic.
January 13, 2025 at 9:57 AM
I'd say "mainly used for consumer stuff" is a bit off, win10 and up supports and uses it(afaik they are intending to replace NetBIOS with it), not sure for what: but Chromebooks also generate a good share of mDNS traffic.

You should expect it, and see it in any enterprise environment.

*slaps the roof of the big one* you can fit so much packet collision in this bad boy.

Here in Norway we salt the roads more or less constantly for 4-6 months, rust isn't that huge an issue.

Proof: pic I just snapped from the bus. (Notice how the road isn't red with rust either).

Rust isn't a problem as long as you take care of your stuff.

You should expect to see traffic in the queues you have configured and not in the others.

Just got to trust the engineer that configured it, about whether it's correct and functioning.

If this is a follow-up of sorts from your previous Junos headache: show interface ge-x/y/z extensive. You should find a queue counters section there, in the very verbose output.
