When a module vendor sends you their roadmap slide for the next eighteen months, they're telling you what they want you to plan around. When the same vendor quotes you a lead time of fourteen weeks for a
I have signed quotes in my procurement file from the same module vendor, for the same SKU, dated the same quarter, that are 38 percent apart. Different buyers. Different volume
Six coherent DSP houses competed in 2018. Three remain. That's not really three options. It's one option, one second-source, and a negotiating chip. Procurement teams who
Every major AI training cluster runs InfiniBand. The $5 trillion question is whether Ultra Ethernet will change that. The honest answer: not yet, and here's exactly where the gap is.
I get asked variations of this question every quarter. We need BGP visibility — do we use bgproutes.io, run our own looking-glass, or buy a RIPE Atlas anchor? Followed by
BGP route leaks peaked in 2019 and never went away. RPKI validates origins. It doesn't validate paths. ASPA deployment is at 3% of ASNs. Here's what PeerCortex found checking 70,000 networks.
Every network has a health dashboard. Most of them check three things: ping responds, syslog isn't on fire, BGP sessions are up. That tells you nothing about the
Magatama is a unified security platform with six pillars. The architecture looks clean now. Three decisions made it painful to get here — two I'd make again, one I'd reverse.
The RPKI standard was published in 2012. Origin validation has been technically possible since 2014. The first major transit operators started enforcing in 2018. As of 2026, ROA coverage globally
BGP communities ship on every router. Most operators use three of them. Large communities, RFC 8092, selective announcement, RTBH signaling — the full feature set sits untouched in most networks.
