# Heavy Networking Page: https://stenobird.com/podcast/heavy-networking Text version: https://stenobird.com/podcast/heavy-networking.md RSS feed: https://feeds.packetpushers.net/PacketPushersWeeklyPodcast Official site: https://packetpushers.net/ Author: Packet Pushers Episodes: 250 ## Resource Heavy Networking is an unabashedly nerdy dive into all things networking. Described by one listener as "verbal white papers," the weekly episodes feature network engineers, industry experts, and vendors sharing useful information to keep your professional knowledge sharp and your career growing. Hosts Greg Ferro, Ethan Banks and Drew Conry-Murray cut through the marketing spin to explore what works—and what doesn't—in networking today, while keeping an eye on what's ahead for the industry. On air since 2010, Heavy Networking is the flagship show of the Packet Pushers podcast network. ## Machine-readable JSON: https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/heavy-networking Markdown: https://stenobird.com/podcast/heavy-networking.md ## Episodes - [HN835: The Pros and Cons of Shortest Path Bridging (SPB)](https://stenobird.com/podcast/heavy-networking/hn835-the-pros-and-cons-of-shortest-path-bridging-spb) — 2026-07-24T17:09:24+00:00 - [HN834: HPE Self-Driving Networks: The Next Evolution of Network Automation (Sponsored)](https://stenobird.com/podcast/heavy-networking/hn834-hpe-self-driving-networks-the-next-evolution-of-network-automation-sponsored) — 2026-07-17T17:42:00+00:00 - [HN833: The State of Packet Pushers 2026](https://stenobird.com/podcast/heavy-networking/hn833-the-state-of-packet-pushers-2026) — 2026-06-26T15:52:05+00:00 - [HN832: AI Agents Are Just Another Tool: How to Integrate With Your Network Automation Strategy (Sponsored)](https://stenobird.com/podcast/heavy-networking/hn832-ai-agents-are-just-another-tool-how-to-integrate-with-your-network-automation-strategy-sponsored) — 2026-06-19T17:11:30+00:00 - [HN831: The Sum, Not Just the Parts: How and Why to Think Holistically About Your Network](https://stenobird.com/podcast/heavy-networking/hn831-the-sum-not-just-the-parts-how-and-why-to-think-holistically-about-your-network) — 2026-06-12T12:50:08+00:00 - [HN830: Tailscale CEO on WireGuard, Zero Trust, and Securing AI (Sponsored)](https://stenobird.com/podcast/heavy-networking/hn830-tailscale-ceo-on-wireguard-zero-trust-and-securing-ai-sponsored) — 2026-06-05T19:18:14+00:00 - [HN829: EVPN/VXLAN Vs.
