In this episode we discuss whether a switch can achieve desired state without needing a complete reboot on every config change.

Remember the episode where we analyzed Juniper acquiring Apstra? Well Michael Bushong, VP of Datacenter at Juniper, was the brains behind that idea - he had a listen to the episode and reached out to have a chat. We had a great time with Mike and talked about of course the acquisition but much more including where AI/ML fits in the network, network disaggregation, SONiC, SmartNics... have a listen!

We're back for part 2 with Rob Shakir. In this episode we hear from Rob on his reasoning for developing and using gRIBI rather than leveraging the likes of PCEP. We also chat about the various ways of collecting information from the network to make traffic engineering decisions - BGP-LS anyone?

Finally we were able to put this together! Rob joins us and shares his wisdom and insight in a two part series where we discuss OpenConfig, gNMI, gNOI, PCEP, gRIBI, P4...and more! Tune in for a lengthy but awesome discussion.



Special thanks to Rob for recording this a second time as we were not able to release the first recording we did due to some audio issues.

Continuing in our network automation mini-series we start looking tools and frameworks - today its NAPALM. Join us for a look into what NAPALM is and brings to the table.

Yikes a couple weeks and no podcast, really sorry about that, have a listen to find out why...But we're back with some interesting news in Juniper acquiring Apstra - what does Apstra bring to the Juniper table? What happens when you throw SONiC in the equation?
