Redistribute BGP into OSPF

Because some tosspot always thinks that they “get” route redistribution.Then they configure it.

Even if it works the first time, it breaks a couple days later. At 2am when you can barely even think straight. Then you are trying to unpick a network design that has 50 routers with one-way routing problem.

Nah, route redistribution is always a bloody disaster.

WAN Acceleration Sucks

WAN Acceleration is a hack too far. Ok, so many of the protocols are invented by losers (like Microsoft CIFS) and can be be compressed a gazillion times. That doesn’t mean it’s a good idea.

What’s the first thing that happens when you deploy WAN Acceleration and then something goes wrong ?

Yeah, you know it

“Can you disable the WAN Accelerators, I’m sure that the problem”

I loathe anything that modifies my beautiful packets. Just leave them the hell alone.
