Enjoy! THIS WEEK'S TOP PICK:Is Cisco's business outlook really 'challenged' this time? One day Cisco CEO John Chambers is describing the business outlook as "extremely challenging", the next he's saying the outlook is brighter and that he's "more comfortable with 12% to 17% long- term growth than I was a month or two ago.'' Well, the outlook seems to be back in the negative again, according to a story in Fortune, which suggests that the network giant is "bracing for a downturn.". Read more .

In his recent Cisco Data Center Blog entry, Gourlay opined: "FibreChannel is here to stay." Michael Morris From the Field: I Can Fix Anything With a Tunnel I had a boss at a previous job tell me that one time. He proclaimed to be a "First 100 CCIE", although I never verified that. But, he did know networking. We'd be sitting in design meetings and be stuck on a design issue and he start saying, "we can fix this with a tunnel". For example, once we had a problem with a firewall and BGP and he starts saying, "Screw it, just tunnel through the Firewall and be done with it." Wendell Odom's Cisco Cert Zone: CCNP Lab Part 6 - ISCW Features and Feature sets So, back to the CCNP lab stuff. I've already discussed some of the considerations for the BCMSN and ONT exams in this blog during the past 3-4 weeks. Today, I'll begin to examine the ISCW exam, which means we'll look at the configuration topics for the exam, and in this case, focus on IOS versions and feature sets. Jeff Doyle on IP routing: Understanding Signaling in MPLS Networks I wrote in the previous post about how the Resource Reservation Protocol with Traffic Engineering extensions (RSVP-TE), in addition to being an MPLS label distribution protocol, is also an MPLS signaling protocol. That is, an ingress LSR can use RSVP-TE to notify all LSRs along the path to the egress that it wants to set up an LSP. Jamey Heary: Cisco Security Expert: Insurance broker for Hannaford provides insider view on data theft insurance. I have been exchanging emails off-line with Kevin P. Kalinich, J.D. Kevin is the Co- National Managing Director of the Financial Services Group at Professional Risk Solutions. A couple days ago Kevin emailed me a response to my blog on the Hannaford credit card theft and state of privacy breach insurance. Larry Chaffin: Bringing realism into your network: Microsoft and Cisco Enhance Branch Offices Through Integration of Windows Server 2008 and WAAS In my blog there's a link to the story; surprise, surprise Cisco and Microsoft have no idea when this will be out. But my questions is what is Microsoft going to do when they figure out that the solution they are going to push to Server 2008 customers using the WAAS is not that good. Cisco WAAS is not even the best in the industry; do they read Gartner and Forrester Reports? I wonder if this is a last ditch effort from Cisco to salvage the WAAS by using Microsoft to push it on customers? Mark Lewis: Best practices from a roving CCIE: Configuring an L2TPv3 Ethernet Pseudowire As I mentioned last time, L2TPv3 has a plethora of capabilities, including the capability to be used for remote access VPNs, the capability to transport a number of Layer-2 protocols in a pseudowire configuration, the capability to transport MPLS Layer-3 VPN traffic, and the capability to transport IPv6 over an IPv4 backbone network. Author Experts: Jim Doherty and Neil Anderson: Video Killed the Radio Star (part 1 of 3) It's a no-brainer that IP-based video applications are increasing at a dramatic rate, and its having a dramatic affect on network traffic. A recent study/white paper by Cisco attempts to quantify the growth and provide a glimpse into the future. According to this paper, video traffic on the internet in 2007 exceeded the level of traffic on the entire internet in 2000. Enter to win a copy of Jim and Neil's book "Cisco Networking Simplified."
