Folks, I've been tempted by the NANOG PC into trying to run some "Lightning Debates" at NANOG 51 in Miami. The idea, similar to lighting talks, is a 30 minute session, covering 3 debate topics, 10 minutes each. Each person would get 5 minutes to argue their side of the issue.
Some ideas so far:
UPS Systems: Battery vs. Flywheel
Which side will be represented by the folks from 365 Main?
Cooling: Raised floor vs. Underfloor
What about overhead (which is the usual opposite to underfloor which is the same as raised floor in most cases)
Power: AC vs. DC
I think this is more context sensitive and that a one-size fits all argument on either side wouldn't make much sense.
Ethernet: 40GE vs. 100GE
ROFL
Optics: XFP vs. SFP+
This is a debate topic? Really?
Address Families: IPv4 vs. IPv6
Ooh... This one might be interesting. Owen
