Even the ones that weren’t into internetworking.I will say this: We used to live in a world where most people on the list ran their own DNS, NNTP, IRC, E-mail etc servers and services and understood how each end-to-end bit worked together. We seem to be much further from that these days, people either know the hosts or the network but not both, the applications but not the operating system. It’s important to understand more of what is going on in the adjacent systems and network elements as that impacts the outcomes that we design and engineer for these days. - Jared _______________________________________________ NANOG mailing list https://lists.nanog.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/7ONWQNN2SICAQYCWGFRDI6PSEKK2QWOH/
