Modulate Demodulate - The ModemCast

Hello, world. What is this MODEM podcast all about? Well, we saw a gap emerging in the technical podcast space. That gap was a deeply technical podcast, focused on the protocols, the details, the how-to-demistify-complex things, the unbiased, un-cola of networking that needed to be filled. We’re not interested in the marketing, or the fluff - we want to deconstruct the new shiny things and break them down into comsumable parts. Maybe also some witty banter.

    Networking Field Day 32 Recap

    In this episode Chris and Jay give Nick a recap of Networking Field Day 32. Always a worth while endeavor, the Netwqorking Field Day events provide a unique view into the networking industry and allow for industry experts to tease apart the nerdy details of some of networkings most innovative technologies. In Networking Field Day 32 we had presentations and discussions with the likes of Broadcom, Anuta Networks, and Nile and as always, colorful commentary by the MODEM crew!

    The roads not-so-less-traveled

    We shift gears a bit and take a step back from deep tech and attempt to provide some experienced based advice for those working on careers. Suggested by our own own Jay Stewart, we each give a bit of our origin story and attempt to provide some hard learned lessons about it being completely OK - and in fact healthier - to not have the always-labbing grindset, to take chances, and to embrace risk, and *gasp* pick a topic to specialize in.

    What the heck is DHCP option 108 and how do I use it?

    What the heck is this DHCP option 108 that I have been hearing about? How can I use it? Why do they call it "IPv6-mostly"? These are all questions we make a wandering, winding attempt to answer in this last-minute, sketchily planned episode of MODEM. Over the last few months, Nick has been testing and even operationalizing DHCP option 108 in a daily use network. In this podcast, Chris Cummings, Nick Buraglio, Trey Aspelund, and Kevin Myers run down the problems, solutions, and overall experiences of trying to do so. IPv6 Buzz episode on option 108 RFC 8925

    The current state of multihoming IPv6: all of the things your mother warned you about

    "Multihoming IPv6 is a pathway to many things some consider to be ......unnatural." ―Darth Sidious, maybe. In this episode of MODEM, we get super nerdy about the current state of multihoming IPv6 and all of the gory details and exposed limitations. Join Chris Cummings, Nick Buraglio, and John Osmond as we discuss a new IETF draft that describes the current state of multihoming in the IPv6 world. And no, we aren't just talking about BGP. And just for Jay Stewart, we've added in a handful of movie references.

    More point to point addressing with Ed Horley

    Ed Horley (of IPv6 Buzz podcast fame) listened to the last show about point to point addressing and hit me up to say "Hey! You're doing it wrong!", and since there is never a bad opportunity to learn from the masters and improve, John and I said "great, let's do another show! And this time we'll bring along Jay and Chris! Listen in as we wander through a lot of interesting facts about TCAM, RFCs, and deployment models.

    The boring importance of point to point addressing

    Ahh, the perennially overlooked and ignored art of point to point addressing. You know, the IPv4 and IPv6 addressing that gets slapped onto a link between a core and distribution router, or the addressing placed on the link between your BGP speaker and the ISP. Those are kinda important, ya know? Do you know the best methods to use, what is common, what isn't? Well, John Osmon and Nick Buraglio talk it through. It's really not as boring as it seems.

    What in the heck is QoS?

    "Quality of Service". That nebulous term that is very capable of bringing out the frothing-at-the-mouth, highly opinionated engineers that either love it or hate it. As polarizing as it is, the real question is "what in the heck *is* it?!". For a topic that is so, so able to cause a cavernous divide between even the most sane, seasoned, and and stoic engineers, the definition is exceptionally hard to nail down. So, in keeping with the theme of "giving the people what they want", Nick, Chris Cummings, Chris Young, John Osmon, and special guest star Jay Stewart try to define it. Do we succeed? You'll have to listen to find out.
