Network World's LANs & Routers Newsletter, 07/03/07 Doyle returns to Cisco Subnet By Jeff Caruso We are honored to have Jeff Doyle return as a blogger for Network World's Cisco Subnet, our independent community of Cisco customers. Doyle had been in our rotation of Cisco Press bloggers; the author of "Routing TCP/IP" (read a sample chapter here) was blogging for us in May. In blog posts like this one, he helped shed a more public light on the pace at which we are running out of IPv4 addresses and the need for IPv6. That was supposed to be the end of it. But he received a tremendous response from readers and now he is back as a regular and an important part of the growing Cisco Subnet community. Manage Insider Security Threats Experts say 75% of security threats come from inside your organization. Watch the latest Network World Editorial Perspectives Webcast today, "Security From the Inside," and learn which technologies and processes best protect your intellectual property and assets inside the perimeter. Click Here to View What has made the blog (and his books) so popular is that Doyle has a knack for taking complex topics and making them comprehensible, without a vendor slant, and all with an authoritative and entertaining style. A recent example got my attention. In it, Doyle explains the differences among Non-Stop Forwarding (NSF), Non-Stop Routing (NSR) and Graceful Restart (GR). Like so many acronyms in routing, these have gotten muddled by a profusion of vendor marketing. If you are familiar with basic routing concepts, it's an easy read. Doyle explains how NSF, NSR and GR solve different pieces of a larger puzzle - the problem of dealing with failures on modern router control planes. He also explains how the newest technologies from Cisco and Juniper fit into this scenario. Please welcome Jeff Doyle back to the Subnet. The thing about blogging is that you can't really tell if people are reading unless they respond, so be sure to use the comment function at the bottom of his blog posts to let him know what you think, or to ask questions. His full blog can be found here.   What do you think? Post a comment on this newsletter
