In this episode we hear from Lefteris Manassakis and Vasileios Kotronis what Code BGP is, why you need it and how to get started. https https://www.codebgp.com/

The Internet Society supports and promotes the development of the Internet as a global technical infrastructure, a resource to enrich people's lives, and a force for good in society. Our work aligns with our goals for the Internet to be open, globally-connected, secure, and trustworthy.

In this episode Rick and Melchior invited Rolf Schaerer from Pensando Systems and ask him all how Pensando redefines the Netwok Server Edge. "A New Way of Thinking About Next-Gen Cloud Architectures" leveraging a custom, programmable P4 processor Pensanso refers to as Capri. Capri is optimized to execute a software stack delivering cloud, compute, network, storage, and security services at cloud scale. Capri is easily installed in any standard server via the Pensando Distributed Services Card (DSC). The DSC provides software-defined services at the server edge, eliminating an assortment of discrete appliances throughout the data center and simplifying IT operations.

In this episode Kaliraj will explain to us what BGP Classful Transport (BGP-CT) is and how it works. BGP-CT is a mechanism, referred to as "service mapping", to express association of overlay routes with underlay routes satisfying a certain SLA, using BGP.  It is a framework for classifying underlay routes into transport classes, and mapping service routes to specific transport class. The "Transport class" construct maps to a desired SLA, and can be used to realize the "Topology Slice" in 5G Network slicing architecture. BGP-CT is still work in progress in IETF. The draft can be found here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-kaliraj-idr-bgp-classful-transport-planes/ The authors welcome feedback and input for the draft.

In this episode Tony tells us all about a new feature he is working on, Auto-EVPN to ease and simplify datacenter EVPN operations. The IETF draft has recently been published: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-head-rift-auto-evpn-00.

Andree is an experienced technologist and entrepreneur with a passion for all aspects of Internet infrastructure. He is also the founder of BGPMon. Today Andree focusses on designing and building cloud native (networking) applications. Make sure to check out his blog https://toonk.io/ and latest project https://www.mysocket.io/.

Wojciech explains what Quantum Networking/Internet is and what it's not. Rick and Melchior ask Wojciech all about entanglement, fidelity, qubits, Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), spooky action at a distance and his work in the IETF Quantum Internet Research Group (QIRG).

How to scale beyond the CDN with 8k video, millions of simultaneous download and streams, local caches and multicast. This episode is the last in the series of 3 in which we discuss scaling the internet.

Happy New Year from your Routing Table Podcast hosts Rick & Melchior. Thank you for listening in 2020. We hope you'll stick with us in 2021!

Matthew shares his experiences building a few of the largest CDNs on the planet. We talk about serving hundreds or thousands of streams, 4k video, CDN nodes deeply embedded in the service provider network, downsides of multicast, DRM and protocols.
