IPv6 is getting the right attraction in the company I work in, and attended a IPv6 training from FastLane (http://www.flane.co.uk/) course_id: (IP6FD)  which is not a bad course if you are a beginner coming from an enterprise type of network. Of course, I learnt few new things and in general the topic is quite hot - so, if you are guys are looking for more advanced course, maybe it's worth trying  (IPV6SPAM)  instead of (IP6FD).

I just got a demo from Cisco about the CML and to be honest looks very impressive. I took couple of screenshots for the people who are interested. I guess it will be quite a topic in the following months especially for people who are studying for CCIE.

It is this time of the year when my and my wife are planning which place to visit next, e.g. exciting times. We were looking two options for this year, Thailand & [Vietnam and Cambodia], each of those places looks very interesting from cultural point of view and they have nice beaches, good food etc. We spent couple of months making our research and so far Vietnam and Cambodia are really nice option for 20 days trip. Lets see what will happen, I am very excited about such trip, it will be completely new experience for me.

I am not sure how to describe Beijing China, maybe everyone who goes their simply use the world 'Amazing' because it will be nearly impossible to describe it. I had a personal driver and tour guide which significantly simplify my trip around.  Of course, it was a business trip and I didn't have as much time as I needed to see everything from Beijing but I will try to share couple of pictures and some of my impressions. I will start with the food.  I remember when I was younger there was so many Chines restaurants in the neighbourhood and I could eat Chines food everyday, and at every time - my parents were joking that I will became a Chines if I continue to eat only Chines, but it was so good and I didn't care ;-)  In Beijing I tried so many different things and I am amazed by the quality of the food, and most amazingly I didn't have any problems with my stomach - which was a good sign ;-) . I uploaded few photos from my album, which are from different places I ...

2013 was really interesting year for me and my wife - We visited some really cool places like Seychelles (La Diague) and Caribbean (Barbados).  Two really different places from each other, La Digue is a small island with population of 2000 people according Wikipedia, but in my personal opinion there was not more than 200 people. Trip around the Island by foot took us around 5-6 hours, and it was freaking amazing with stunning views. Probably it's not worthy posting photos here because they can be found on google images anyway ;-) Couple of months after we decided to visit Barbados (Caribbean), which was really different from La Digue, the island was much bigger with much bigger population. One of the most interesting things we did was to go around the island with the public transport, that was quite a fun, of course we hired a car after that, but the public transport is something to remember, especially cars which are operating within the city area, called Z*R.. laud Rege music and...

I have this interesting case where I have only 3 available interfaces which are in a port-channel and I was wondering how the traffic will be load-balanced, there is this interesting article I just found on the Cisco forum which explains it in a great detail. source: https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-17855

Source: http://www.stevesouders.com/blog/2012/10/11/cache-is-king/ It’s important to understand where the benefits from each technique come into play. Using Ajax, for example, doesn’t make the initial page load time much faster (and often makes it slower if you’re not careful), but subsequent “pages” (user actions) are snappier. Optimizing JavaScript, on the other hand, makes both the first page view and subsequent pages faster. Better caching sits in the middle: The  very  first visit to a site isn’t faster, but subsequent page views are faster. Also, even after closing their browser the user gets a faster initial page when she returns to your site – so the performance benefit transcends browser sessions. These web performance optimizations aren’t mutually exclusive –  you should do them all!  But I (and perhaps you) wonder which has the biggest impact. So I decided to run a test to measure these different factors. I wanted to see the benefits on real we...
