My understanding is the same as Ricky's. At least in the Broadcom word, you
have to license the SDK from Broadcom in order to develop against it and,
more importantly, have documentation of which register does what. I don't

Neat! I'll have to keep my eyes on this in the future, it'd be cool if we could
have VyOS handling routing on the hardware and the vm hosts, would save me a
bit of brainpower

New devices like the former Brocade SLX even has its own hypervisor on
x86-intel and runs an Ubuntu VM for management and monitoring. You can
even install your own things, therefore new applications and purposes
will rise in the future.
I also believe that dockerization will come to the net

It seems to me that at the current moment in the evolution of bitcoin, the
only way to make money from it is to sell the equipment to mine coins, as
the chances of ever making any money from mining coins yourself are
vanishingly small. And then only if you get your electricity and cooling
for free
The definition of an ASIC is that it has only one use. Just because half of
a 100gb switch is not in use doesn't mean that you can mine bitcoin, or run
a blockchain with the asics not in use..

BTC miners use asics. Big switches/routers use 100Gb asics. Some
switches have multiple 100 Gb asics and sometimes only half is use or
even less.

Sure but there are lots of blockchains other than bitcoin. A lot of real smart

I am looking for recommendations -preferably based on experience- for
training/workshops for NOC engineers that have made significant difference
in root cause analysis, analytical thinking, troubleshooting skills and
problem solving skills.
Thanks,
