Welcome to the Packet Pushers Weekly Show. We’re going back to our roots with a community roundtable discussion.

In this format, a group of network engineers chew the fat about what’s on their minds related to IT, projects being worked on, the latest sputterings from vendors, and so on.

Put in your very favorite earbuds and join us for a frank chat about what’s up.

We’ll opine on handling hurricanes with a lack of carrier diversity, refresh cycles for 100GbE, cheap access to Safari Books Online, the all-wireless office, phone home failures, and more.

Our guests are

* Jordan Martin

* Tom Hollingsworth

* Jeremy Filliben

* Josh O’Brien

* Dana Dawson
