Hello, world. What is this MODEM podcast all about? Well, we saw a gap emerging in the technical podcast space. That gap was a deeply technical podcast, focused on the protocols, the details, the how-to-demistify-complex things, the unbiased, un-cola of networking that needed to be filled. We’re not interested in the marketing, or the fluff - we want to deconstruct the new shiny things and break them down into comsumable parts. Maybe also some witty banter.

We shift gears a bit and take a step back from deep tech and attempt to provide some experienced based advice for those working on careers. Suggested by our own own Jay Stewart, we each give a bit of our origin story and attempt to provide some hard learned lessons about it being completely OK - and in fact healthier - to not have the always-labbin…

What the heck is this DHCP option 108 that I have been hearing about? How can I use it? Why do they call it "IPv6-mostly"? These are all questions we make a wandering, winding attempt to answer in this last-minute, sketchily planned episode of MODEM. Over the last few months, Nick has been testing and even operationalizing DHCP option 108 in a dail…

Ed Horley (of IPv6 Buzz podcast fame) listened to the last show about point to point addressing and hit me up to say "Hey!

Ahh, the perennially overlooked and ignored art of point to point addressing. You know, the IPv4 and IPv6 addressing that gets slapped onto a link between a core and distribution router, or the addressing placed on the link between your BGP speaker and the ISP. Those are kinda important, ya know? Do you know the best methods to use, what is common,…

"Quality of Service". That nebulous term that is very capable of bringing out the frothing-at-the-mouth, highly opinionated engineers that either love it or hate it. As polarizing as it is, the real question is "what in the heck *is* it?!". For a topic that is so, so able to cause a cavernous divide between even the most sane, seasoned, and and sto…

We’ve been busy! At least that’s our excuse. We recorded this episode with Dave Taht and Seth David Schoen about some new drafts they wrote for the Unicast Use of the Formerly Reserved address blocks such as 240.0.0.0, 127.0.0.0 and a few others, back in February. Needless to say, it was pretty interesting. Full of very polarizing topics (for oh-so…

Off for the summer - after a short hiatus we're back! Actually, we recorded this in July (of 2021) but then summer ramped into full swing and editing took a back burner. With this episode we shift gears, change direction, flip-flop, do a roundabout and talk about less technical topics. We all have ways that we learn, and hindsight is 20/20. In this…

Building large-scale network labs can be tedious and error prone—More importantly, they can be notoriously hard to spin up automatically. Containerlab is a new tool that promises to "redefine the way you run networking labs" and I really think it hits that target. On this episode of the Modulate Demodulate podcast, Nick and Chris C. are joined by R…

BGP is one of the most versatile routing protocols out there, but let's be honest—It kinda sucks when it comes to... Well, a lot of things. Specifically, there are a lot of issues with BGP's security (or lack thereof). BGP comes from a time when The Internet was much smaller and everyone knew everyone. Now that The Internet has exploded in growth, …

Buffer Bloat. Most folks in the networking industry have at least heard this term, and may have a vague idea of what it means. It's certain that all of us have experienced it at one time or another - and likely thought it was a different problem. Over the last few years a couple of queuing disciplines have emerged that have allowed the users of the…

As the internet grows and changes, it has become increasingly important for organizations of a certain size to dive into external routing.

But what if your intern…
