IOS-XE and ASR 903

In reading Cisco France blog, I have discovered this platform : ASR903.

Thank you for the blog post from Jerome Durand (Cisco) about IOS-XE (v3.5) which will be running on ASR903. This piece of hardware is not already sold by anyone, even Cisco. This router seems really powerful in a compact place in your rack. Read it :

  • MPLS-TE
  • MPLS-TP
  • MPLS-OAM
  • Hierarchical VPLS (HVPLS), Virtual Private Wire Service (VPWS), EoMPLS
  • OTV
  • in addition to basical functionality.

We have bought this camera product by Nikon. It is the successor of the D60 (2007-2008). We have bought it to capture the smiles and the laughter of our daughter. After lot of reading on internet, we decided to buy this Nikon D3100 with to 2 lens (18-55 and 55-200), 14,2 Million of pixels…  You can read technical specification on www.nikon.fr.

It will give me some work on technical specification and readings to use correclty this affordable and interesting reflex camera.

It is not really easy to explain BGP/ASN concepts to a non-friendly-IT friend. I am really interested in how you explain this. Just to know. I am really curious. Do you use an analogy ? Which ? Do you go directly in technical stuff ? To begin : for my part I use an analogy around city/country. I explain that city/country announce to others her streets or better a set of streets. and so on … It could be cool to know your stories about this…

}

Thank you for UNIX, thank you for C programming language !
