MPLS for the masses

As my knowledge and experience in networking evolved, I came to the conclusion that too much freedom and too many features can be very dangerous, especially in the wrong hands. After all, who would give a Ferrari to a young driver? The truth is that getting to the essence, removing the superfluous and using the right tools and in the right way, is a precious skill to be developed with continuous study, dedication and preferably under the right guidance.

I had the opportunity to talk about datacenter during ITNOG2 thank you guys! I talked about the use EVPN as control plane for overlay networks, and how to exploit them to create distributed services between different datacenters. I also mentioned the use of EVPN type-5 with proxy-arp to reduce distribution of mac-address routes and completely eliminate layer-2, while maintaining compatibility with current clustering and HA solutions based on layer-2 but now distributed in multiple datacenters.

I talk about my experience in becoming CCIE Certified. This was a good opportunity to share experience and meet old and new friends.
