Keynote: TCP Terminates on the Floor: The Ebbing Tide of Networking Expertise

Once upon a time it was unthinkable to have a company meaningfully more complicated than a local florist that didn't have a network engineer on staff, or at least retainer. Today the world is vastly different. Remarkably good senior engineers abound in the tech industry who are pretty sure "BGP" is a band that teenagers are into. In this disturbingly entertaining talk, we'll explore what's happened to our industry, and where it's going next.

Excellent summary and very entertaining.

Good presentation, but he is wildly out of touch about setting up a virtual data center deployment. Virtualization has never been easier with tools like containerlab. I don't know anyone still buying Cisco 1921s and Cat 3750s on eBay to build a lab anymore..
