Eric Stewart: Running Off At The Mouth

Catchpoint and Kentik presented their solutions for network observability at Network Field Day 29. Both solutions seek to provide the necessary evidence to say “It’s not the network”, but with different philosophies. I try no to show too much opinion in this post as to which one seemed more complete to me, and encourage you to watch both presentations for yourself.

Opengear presented on the first day of Network Field Day 29 and talked about using your out of band access more effectively, including using your serial connectivity for more than just emergencies.

I will be a delegate for Network Field Day 29. What is it? What’s involved? This post will explain what I know so far and provide links to more information, including where to find streams of the presentations.
