My background so you can see if anything here interests you - I have a good ISP background, in which I have worked on networks both small and large. Through this I have a good knowledge of DSL based services and GPON (This is what NBN runs on). Broadband and PPP Services inc PPPoE and PPPoL2TP I also have a good knowledge of routing protocols such as IS-IS and BGP, and MPLS. Obviously throughout this I have general networking knowledge such as, subnetting, network design, troubleshooting, Quality of Service etc. ... - Networking 101 - Fundamentals including subnetting, OSI Model, packet analysis and troubleshooting - Networking in the home. Internal networking, ADSL networking - Quality of Service - Packet marking, shaping and queuing
QoS, and the sysadmins amongst the crowd want to understand something, anything about BGP, any/multi casting etc. What problems may result from redundant network configurations - how ARPs may fail to be propagated, etc. Not personally helpful, but some of the crowd may be interesting in HA failover mechanisms and load balancing? -- Tim Connors
