The amount of buzzwords in that page is quite incredible. I'm also unsure where it mentions that virtualization is now obsolete. NFV solutions are moving to VM based deployments as a stop-gap and for the future, towards micro-services built in containers. On Fri, Jan 15, 2021 at 6:38 AM

Wouldn't you want BCP38 policies to be as close as possible to the traffic sources? Instead of creating more "fake" traffic? And at the same time, partial filtering doesn't seem as a very effective way to fight spoofed traffic on a large scale. On 03/24/2017 11:07 AM, Florian Weimer wrote:

I do think that the point of the Pool network is to be used by both consumers and vendors. And as mentioned before, there is a process if you are a vendor and want to use the pool within a commercial product. I have 3 NTP servers running and I don't really care who is using it. That said,

Merry Christmas! (Even if slightly late...) I absolutely agree. The certification by itself doesn't prove much beyond a passing interest in networking and an ability to retain a fair amount of information. I suspect it's mostly a question of creating some kind of standard to judge applicants.
