Episode show notes:

In failing to prepare you are preparing to fail. Or at least in this context, you are likely gonna give yourself a few problems.  

Going into a recording studio that you've never used before can be a daunting and maybe even confusing prospect. 

It'd be nice if all producers had the same workflow and routing setup that you use in the recording studio, but sadly this aint the case.  

Who knows what the producer that used the recording studio before you was thinking? Only them, that's who. 

If an unconventional, un-labelled routing setup has been used and you're walking in there for the first time with the talent hoping to record, things could get pretty confusing and pretty exhausting, pretty fast. 

Benedikt and Malcom dealt with this situation like a couple of champs recently which was the inspiration behind this episode. 

There are a few things you can do beforehand that will ensure that you're not faced with a day of routing before even thinking about pressing the record button. 

Remember, in the recording studio, time is money and this episode will save you some $$$ and blushes if you follow the approach these two pros take when entering a new recording studio for the first time. 

Let's dive in!

Are you choosing less than when it comes to your morning routine? 

This episode is all about your morning routine. A few days ago, I found myself pressing the morning snooze button like a zombie over and over again. I slept through a fitness class and was fed up with how my mornings were changing. 

I began asking the question, “What is this?” and “How can I shift this?” I received the awareness that I was not getting enough sleep for my body. The lack of sleep was creeping up on me and it was working any more for me. This show is all about how I changed it and 3 things that can help you in creating a stronger morning routine. 

3 Things that can help you create a stronger morning routine:

1. Ask yourself, Is this routine still working for me?
2. Your routine can change like a season.
3. Your morning routine starts with your evening routine.

Segment Routing is the term widely used in the industry to refer to Source Packet Routing In Networking (SPRING), as defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Cisco has pioneered Segment Routing since 2012 and has led the standardization efforts with the support of a group of lead operators, resulting in few RFCs and over 50 active internet-drafts.

In this podcast today, we’re going to deep dive into some technical aspects with Bertrand Duvivier, Principal Engineer from Cisco.

COLT has been an early adopter of Segment Routing MPLS. Joining us for this podcast are Aaron Partouche, 5G & Edge – New Business Development Director & Bart Janssens – Senior Specialist Packet Network Engineering  

Topics:

• Insights into the network infrastructure that supports COLT’s business.
• Key factors driving SR MPLS adoption 
• New transport connectivity options to Mobile Operators deploying 5G applications.
• How can Segment Routing help to speed up adoption in Private 4G/5G networks?
• Leveraging some SR capabilities to deliver new Neutral Host services.  

Any web-based application routes all its requests through URL. Laravel’s routing allows you to define URLs, URL patterns, and HTTP Verbs to match you users’ incoming request to your application’s logic. And, while not all web-based applications return HTML, most do, so let’s also get familiar with Blade, Laravel’s templating language. In this episode, Caleb Porzio, creator of Laravel Livewire and Alpine.js, talks about routing and Blade.

5G brings in significant changes to the mobile architecture. It relies heavily on virtualization and containerization, splits the mobile control and user plane and introduces network slicing. In the radio space new spectrum is available and the Radio Access Network infrastructure has been de-aggregated into three discrete components that can be integrated into a single unit or split across different locations. 

This podcast is going to concentrate on the transport network and how segment routing can address the new requirements and changes brought in by the 5G mobile architecture. 

Ray interviews Distinguished Consulting Engineer at Cisco Simon Spraggs

We discuss Segment Routing consideration during the COVID-19 pandemic and break it up to three priorities to consider.

1) Make the network more robust

• thanks to TI-LFA, whenever and wherever a node or a link fails in the network, connectivity can be restored within 50ms. SR increases network resiliency

2) Custom-fit the network to application needs

• SR is seminal to E2E network slicing implementation
• Customer applications can be mapped to network slices according to the SLAs expressed by applications.

3) Squeeze more out of your network

• SR advanced traffic engineering capabilities let Service providers dynamically reroute traffic, leading to increase network usage up to 80% or more.
• Only SR can deliver TE at mass scale

When is the time for Service Provider SD-WAN?  NOW!

Ask providers and vendors to name today’s “hot” technology and unanimously software-defined wide-area networking (SD-WAN) is the first that comes to mind. Although top of mind, the reality is that SD-WAN has only 2% penetration of the worldwide total addressable market for enterprises. That is now, but as more organizations look to reduce costs, improve QoE and gain greater flexibility in how they manage network applications, that number will expand rapidly. ACG expects nearly a third of enterprises worldwide to adopt SD-WAN by 2023. 
Why are enterprises embracing SD-WAN? Because it addresses several critical business needs that conventional MPLS circuits cannot:
• Digital agility
• More visibility and control 
• Better application and service performance 

By investing in growing their SD-WAN business, operators can benefit from automation, dynamic deployment, service velocity, increased visibility, off-the-shelf equipment or vendor grey-box. But to reap those benefits profitably, service providers need to act NOW.

Ritesh Mukherjee, VP Product Management, 128 Technology, and Ray Mota, CEO, ACG Research, discuss how 128 Technology is differentiating itself in the SD-WAN and router spaces. Providers are facing multiple challenges with their infrastructure as they address the rapidly changing market demands. Decision-makers are looking for new solutions that efficiently confront their issues. 128 Technology meets providers’ demands with its tunnel-free solutions. Ritesh and Ray talk about tunnel-free networking, its benefits, and cite use cases that highlight how the 128 Technology solution can enable and support a provider’s network and business logistics. They point out the future of technology—machine learning and artificial intelligence—and how the company is working to address this evolution.

Andy Ory, Co-Founder, CEO, 128 Technology, and Ray Mota, CEO, ACG Research, discuss network transformation and how 128 Technology is addressing this accelerating global evolution. Providers need architectures that meet these changes, and 128 Technology is meeting their requirements and providing solutions with its tunnel-free technology. To highlight their innovation, Andy and Ray discuss the SoftBank use case and how 128 Technology’s unique structural approach, technology and value prop is enabling SoftBank to build its services. They also discuss the cloud and its impact and importance on network transformation.

Sunil Khandekar, CEO of Nuage Networks, and Ray Mota, CEO, ACG Research, catch up for a third time for a discussion on what SDN can do for network automation, economic benefits of virtualization, and what carriers must do to reap those benefits.  This session focuses on sustainable business solutions for SD-WAN, and why a silo-ed automation layer is no longer viable. Sunil goes to the whiteboard and shares how moving up the chain to a centralized, policy-based architecture taps into the true value of cloud automation.

Kevin Wollenweber, Vice President of Product Management in the Service Provider Network Systems business at Cisco, and Ray Mota, CEO, ACG Research, discusses the company’s recent announcement of the Cisco 8000 Series and what that means for Cloud and Service Providers.
