Brian, all


Great reference, thanks for sharing!

Quote: "engineers almost immediately recognized that they had misdiagnosed the problem.  However, they were unable to resolve the issue by restoring the link, because the network management tools required to do so remotely relied on the same paths they had just disabled”.

This is why we need an adaptive, virtually in-band control plane. Programmable, software-driven networks will strongly amplify this effect. To me, out-of-band control plane is a misconception of virtualization 😉 (have 2 networks, use 1), and it must still be adaptive & omnipresent.

Also nice: recommendations of the Bureau to the operators. 


Artur
