Date: <2024-01-28 Sun>

Version: 1.0

Welcome to 2024, a year that continues to witness revolutionary changes in the world of networking. As a network engineer, I’ve seen firsthand the rapid evolution of technology in our field. This year is no exception, with several trends emerging that are reshaping how we think about and implement network infrastructure. Let’s dive into some of the top trends in networking for 2024.

1. The Rise of 6G Technology

Although 5G has just recently become mainstream, the buzz around 6G technology is already gaining momentum. Expected to be commercially available by 2030, research and development in 6G are heating up in 2024. This next-generation technology promises even faster speeds, lower latency, and higher reliability, paving the way for more advanced applications like holographic communications and augmented reality.

A Beginner's Guide to Network Configuration Templating

Develop and Deploy Network Templates Before Automating

Date: 2022-05-26
Subject: Network Templating
Version 1.0

Automation is the number one topic in networking today. Automation allows a team to lean left, moving simple troubleshooting to the NOC, it allows the team to do more with less, and it allows for repeatable deployments. A good place to start is to think about many of the day to day work that gets done, how much of this work is simply applying the same changes over and over. These tasks are a great place to start with templating.

Running bhyve on FreeBSD 10.1 (archived)

Historical FreeBSD 10.1 walkthrough

Version note (updated July 2026): This is an archived walkthrough for FreeBSD 10.1 and Ubuntu 15.04. Those releases are long out of support, so do not copy its package names, ISO URL, interface names, or boot commands into a production host. The underlying design remains useful: bhyve presents a guest NIC through a tap device, and the FreeBSD host can bridge that tap device to a physical interface. For a supported system, start with the current FreeBSD Handbook bhyve chapter and adapt the example to your supported FreeBSD release, guest OS, network policy, and storage layout.

poem

poem

So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion Respect others in their view And demand that they respect yours Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend Even a stranger when in a lonely place Show respect to all people and grovel to none When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself Abuse no one and nothing For abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision When it comes your time to die Be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death So that when their time comes They weep and pray for a little more time To live their lives over again in a different way Sing your death song And die like a hero going home

Slow Downloads in Itunes

If you are experiencing slow downloads in iTunes try this:

Shut down iTunes

Disable antivirus/internet security suite

Open itunes and resume downloads.

This is most often caused by the internet security suite which is not capable of scanning large files in real time. If this fixes your problem, you can usually make the fix permanent by disabling the piece of the antivirus that filters web traffic.

Route-View Server for Bogon and Malicious Network Feeds

New route-server available!

I have been working on a new project which is to provide a service that would allow you to peer with my router over BGP. My router would then advertise a list of bogons and known malicious networks including botnet command and control networks. You can then drop these networks at your border router thus protecting your network from attacks and saving precious router and firewall resources. Right now I am not offering the peering service but I do have a route-view server available that allows you to login and get a full list of the malicious ip networks for ipv6 and ipv4. To access the router please ssh to rviews.techinvasion.net. If you have ipv6 access there is a AAAA record as well, allowing you to access the router on both ipv4 and ipv6.
