Hello all,
I really didn't get to sleep until 3 am ish this morning, thinking about a few technical problems that I was not understanding. I hate when I get like that! You know, those times where you KNOW you should KNOW something but it isn't making any sense?
Today was fun. One of my favorite networking subjects; subnetting and supernetting. I LOVE this stuff! I can hardly wait to get to IPv6 to do something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! :)
If you know me, you know that I MUST have change. I could never do the same thing over, and over, and over again. That is one nice thing about technology. If you don't like it, or you don't get it, wait 12-18 months and it something else will come along.
A few years ago I began talking about MPLS; Layer "2.5" in the 7 layer OSI model. When I first heard about it and read about I was thinking "Now that make sense!" This whole QOS stuff is nice, but I really don't want to have to think, or have my routers/switch "think" about it. Read more about it here: http://www.networkworld.com/research/2007/040207-mpls-migration-explained.html. I think with MPLS the whole concept of a virtual server, virtual services, ALL hosted in the cloud can become a reality. Think of it...No local servers to buy or manage, no storage constraints. Only "manage" Services and Identities. Who has access to What information, Where and How and When they can get it.
Well, after only a few hours of sleep....it is time to close shop for the day. I had hoped to stay up later and do more studying. The mind is willing but the flesh is weak.
Fort Lauderdale is great, so they tell me. We spend roughly 20 minutes out side per day. 10 minute ride to and 10 minute ride from the school. Then...locked up in the hotel. Again...gotta love technology!
