Make sure your current TTL isn't 24hrs at least 24hrs ahead of time... I've seen so many disorganized migrations have to get delayed due to the lack of forethought.
If I had a niche in networking that I specialize in, it would be 'border security.' It makes me laugh that everyone in security markets zero trust and CASB and says networks are 'borderless' - it's just not true. I am constantly dealing with borders between 'fabrics' and locations. Maybe I'm just a dullard, but I see the niche I am working in only become more important as we move to the cloud and distributed networking and security paradigms.
Depends on use case. 10Gbps between switches (core, distribution, and access) is fairly commonplace and cheap. Per access to the host... only new access switches have multi-Gig ports (1,2.5,5,10Gbps). Those are expensive and are reserved for wireless APs, IME, as they service more than just a host.
Ya know, it's sorta funny that this kind of connectivity is what started 'workgroup' networks... ThickNet, ThinNet, etc. Ring topology is a good idea until you mix people and their computers in!
What's your opinion of lemmy.ml and beehaw? I saw some beehaw admins pissing and moaning about costs with the new uptick of users and a bunch of gatekeeping behavior.
