  • Great Podcast

    If you’re an old(er) network engineer and you’ve had your head stuck in the sand for the past 10 years (like I have) this is a great way to catch up with the current state of programming.

    I found David’s podcast advertised on the GNS3 website and I’ve enjoyed every one I’ve listened to so far and I’ve already learned a lot.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#580: Cisco's first Quantum Switch: What it means for you
Q: What should practitioners do to engage with this technology now?
Engage with abstractions, follow Cisco and partner developments, study archival papers and blogs, attend webinars, and connect with the ecosystem through company resources and events.
#580: Cisco's first Quantum Switch: What it means for you
Q: How does the stack look, and where do the quantum components fit compared to TCP/IP?
There is a signaling layer to configure end-to-end quantum paths via a controller; there is no TCP/IP in the quantum plane, with a circuit-switch-style model and a potential future packet-switched variant.
#580: Cisco's first Quantum Switch: What it means for you
Q: What are the practical applications you see for quantum networking beyond theory?
Applications include high-frequency trading leveraging entanglement for rapid, near-instantaneous information propagation, secure position verification, and enhanced security through quantum-aware crypto approaches and detection of eavesdropping.
#580: Cisco's first Quantum Switch: What it means for you
Q: The sky is falling, do I have to learn this? Is my whole network going to change? What's your advice to people? Do they need to start learning something?
Abstractions will simplify adoption; engineers should focus on their niche and rely on software abstractions to handle complexity, while continuing to keep an eye on quantum progress and potential applications.
#587: Agentic AI is attacking your network (how to defend it)
Q: What is Cisco IQ designed to do for customers?
Cisco IQ provides complete visibility into environments, tracks end-of-life assets and vulnerabilities, guides patching or replacement decisions, and offers playbooks and real-time telemetry to shorten outages and accelerate remediation.
