This course has 25 hours of video, I haven't started it yet but I've watched many of Laz's videos on Youtube, and he explains stuff very well. It is $399 though. They could share the Udemy account, and watch them in their free time. *I'm not affiliated with Udemy* https://www.udemy.com/the-complete-ccna-200-120-course

Shipping bulk hardware via freight
by Jason 07 Nov '14

07 Nov '14

I'm interested in talking with someone who has experience shipping hardware that has been pulled from a working environment. The assumption is that it would not use a normal carriers such as UPS of Fedex, but via private freight. Assuming that 20 x 1U switches and a handful of 10U chassis's were to be shipped, has anyone found a productive way to package them in something other than the boxes they come in? Has anyone tried to crate / pallet pack them or something more efficient? If so, please contact me offline if you are willing to share your experience. Jason

Cogent admits to QoSing down streaming
by Patrick W. Gilmore 06 Nov '14

06 Nov '14

<http://blog.streamingmedia.com/2014/11/cogent-now-admits-slowed-netflixs-tr…> This is interesting. And it will be detrimental to network neutrality supporters. Cogent admits that while they were publicly complaining about other networks congesting links, they were using QoS to make the problem look worse. One of the problems in "tech" is most people do not realize tone is important, not just substance. There was - still is! - congestion in many places where consumers have one or at most two choice of providers. Even in places where there are two providers, both are frequently congested. Instead of discussing the fact there is no functioning market, no choice for the average end user, and how to fix it, we will now spend a ton of time arguing whether anything is wrong at all because Cogent did this. Wouldn't you rather be discussing whether 4 Mbps is really broadband? (Anyone else have flashbacks to "640K is enough for anyone!"?) Or how many people have more than one choice at 25 Mbps? Or whether a company with a terminating access monopoly can intentionally congest its edge to charge monopoly rents on the content providers their paying customers are trying to access? I know I would. Instead, we'll be talking about how things are not really bad, Cogent just made it look bad on purpose. The subtlety of "it _IS_ bad, Cogent just shifted some of the burden from VoIP to streaming" is not something that plays well in a 30 second sound bite, or at congressional hearings. It's enough to make one consider giving up the idea of having a functioning, useful Internet. -- TTFN, patrick

Chicago Colo and IX
by Graham Johnston 06 Nov '14

06 Nov '14

We are looking to expand our network and establish a POP in Chicago; it is expect that we will focus on 350 East Cermak. Can anyone provide recommendations on Colo providers? We will only really need enough space to deploy a modest router and the power it requires. As we won't be able to do work on site, given its remote location to us, a colo provider who provides a remote hands service is a requirement. I'm also curious if anyone can comment on the Equinix IX that is there. Our only experience today with an IX is with TorIX, which has been extremely positive, and I'm not sure what significant differences I should expect if any. Thanks, Graham Johnston Network Planner Westman Communications Group 204.717.2829 johnstong(a)westmancom.com<mailto:johnstong@westmancom.com> P think green; don't print this email.

Sorry for the bandwidth, but we're kind of in a desperate situation to find two HP single mode SFPs. We ordered some yesterday, but it's looking like they won't be delivered today. Would anyone in the Seattle KeyArena area be able to help? If you think you could help today, could you please call Vick @ (404) 561-2608 Thanks for any help! Bobby

I'm aware about the Cisco MATE software, but I'd prefer an open-source, vendor-agnostic one, something that in-house imporvements can also be achieved.
