Recently, Chandra Hosek, who maintains the NetQoSLive Twitter account located to the left of this blog-post, unless you’re reading it sometime in the far future after which we may have redesigned the site meaning it could be anywhere on the page, or even replaced by a service even more twitter-like than Twitter, or perhaps you’re reading this from a space station and you’re a robot. A robot that can feel love, and question its existentia—
Where was I going with this?
Oh, right. (That’ll teach me to get 6 hours of sleep over 48 hours.)
Well, recently, Chandra started asking people what some of their favorite network engineering blogs were, so that we could not only add them to our blogroll on the site, but maybe there’s a blog out there that’s really got some relevant information and we’ve missed it.
I know – obviously NetworkPerformanceDaily.com is your “favorite.” But we’re looking for vendor neutral blogs, specifically, so NPD wouldn’t qualify.
Right now we’ve got a couple – there’s The Network Zone, which has a great post up on how to put value in your network where it matters most, and Should Have Gone With Cisco, which recently put out a walkthrough on how to configure the Cisco Nexus 7000 router virtual portchannel feature – but we could use more. Could you shoot us some links in the comments section of this post? Thanks!
My recommendations for what they’re worth…
The Tech Teapot – cover network management tools with an emphasis on open source tools.
Planet Network Management – this is a collection of lots of network management feeds all in one handy feed.
I run both of those so this is not exactly an independent recommendation.
