Category: worth reading

Last gems found in dusty corners of my cluttered Inbox:

• The Myths of IT – Part 1 and Part 2. A must-read for anyone working in the IT industry.
• Phone - Scott Adams (of the Dilbert fame) ranting about smartphones. Priceless.
• Maybe you only need it because you have it – seen it too many times. Might also apply to long-distance vMotion.

Every Internet-related post is a great opportunity to increase comment count. I’ll pass this time, here are the articles I found interesting with little or no comments from my side. First the generic Internet:

• IPv6 and Transitional Myths – Great mythbuster by Geoff Huston
• Google IPv6 statistics

And then my favorite controversy:

• Net Neutrality for Dummies
• Network Neutrality: Pretty Much Just Socialism (I’m obviously not the only one claiming that)
• ISP's top data hog gobbles 2.7TB of data in a month – a bit old but still relevant
• Congress Needs to Step In for Net Neutrality...Really? Seriously?
• Mobile Carriers Dream of Charging per Page

Links to great data center, storage and virtualization articles found in the depths of my bloated Inbox:

Technology short takes by Scott Lowe. A must-read.

Keys to Virtualization Success – this is how you do it right. Great job, Bob!

I published this blog post in December 2010. As I was cleaning it up 10 years later, only three out of original 11 links still worked. Whatever…

Some Internet Architectural Guidelines and Philosophy – a must-read for people inventing crazy schemes like load balancing based on unicast flooding or MAC-over-MAC proprietary network virtualization (you know who you are but I doubt you read RFCs or my blog).

Spoofing Google search history with CSRF – like we didn’t have enough security problems, here’s another one.

So what's the MTU on that? The MTU surprises never stop.
