PQ Show 119: Can The Network Do That?

Dave McCrory recently published a series of blog posts on the future of networking. What’s compelling about these posts is that Dave isn’t a network engineer. Dave is CTO of Basho, which builds distributed databases.

We explore Dave’s posts and explore the insights he brings to thinking about network hardware design and networking challenges.
