Well, if you really want to 'Get Smart' as in get to 'the edge' of all of |
| 19 |
this, why not just jump straight to (SDN) Software Defined Networks and such |
| 20 |
things as OpenVswitch on a cluster? [1]. Our good friends at Rackspace are |
| 21 |
very progressive in their ideas and systems development. As you learn about |
| 22 |
SDN, you can backfill what the old farts have done in the past and be |
| 23 |
an active part of the future? Just search out SDN as it's a revolution in |
| 24 |
networking that just may be the disruptive thang that is so desperately needed. |

PS::I bet McKinnon can build a buffered serial port sniffer out of those old |
| 28 |
74LSxx chips! I have a wide selection of those old 74LS chips in |
| 29 |
tubes, just in case you get an itch you need to scratch....... |

The date codes have faded....all I can make out is ....you old fart..... |
