CK Daily – 03.04.2024

March 4, 2024 by CablesAndKits

The CK Daily – Playing Catch Up

Happy Monday! I had a rough weekend with a friend called stomach virus. From Friday night to Sunday night, I could not keep any food down and experienced a lot of stomach cramping. A heating pad helped and drinking lots of water seemed to help as well. I’m still not 100%, but feeling much better.

Luckily my wife and kids did not share in my joy. That being said, to much shock and awe, did not get all the stuff I wanted to get done over the weekend and I missed my niece’s birthday party. I’ll have to make it up to her, but it’s rough starting the week behind.

In these moments, what do you do to catch up? Do you not worry about it? Or do you scramble to get everything you hadn’t gotten done over the weekend done? I hope your weekend was far better than mine.

I hope you have a great day and a wonderful week!

Learning Center Article – BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) vs OSPF (Open Shortest Path First)

The internet is arguably the most useful bit of technology we have, but when you get into the nuts and bolts of how it actually works, it can be a lot. The best way to master potentially challenging networking concepts is one idea at a time. With that in mind, we can focus today on two common connection protocols: BGP and OSPF.

Happy Friday & Happy 1st Day of March! Does anyone else think this year is flying by? Cheers to the start of a new month!

The CK Daily – Funny Wi-Fi Names 🤪

Happy Friday, folks! I recently upgraded my wireless network equipment to support Wi-Fi 6 and noticed a significant performance improvement!

But performance is not why I’m writing today…network names (or technically an SSID) are the story today.

On the previous equipment, I let my daughters (who were both under 10 at the time) decide what the home and guest network names would be. They wanted Disney-themed names, so I ran with it.

With the upgrade, I wanted new network names for both the home and guest networks. So, I returned to one of my favorite movie franchises, Back to the Future. My home network name is Marty McWi-Fi (a play on the name of the main character in those movies, Marty McFly). Yes, I know this is a techie thing to do!

I thought changing the network name would be a piece of cake. It took me four (yes, 4) hours to change the network name on every device on the network. This family of four has over 40 devices on our network, and about half had to be reset to change the network. Lesson learned! I’ll keep this network name for a LONG time.

But it got me wondering: how many devices do you have on your home network?

Have a great weekend!

Chris

Learning Center Article – TCP vs UDP

Networking, ultimately, is about the communication between computerized devices. Thinking in such simple terms can help you nail design and philosophy elements when you run your own network, and that can translate to faster speeds and better reliability and security.
