Each episode opens with a recent network outage, a peering dispute, or a routing-table anomaly — then traces the engineering decisions and business incentives behind it. Lucas maps the technical architecture (BGP, MPLS, IXPs), while Luna pushes on the economics: who pays for undersea cables, why ISPs throttle certain traffic, and how network neutrality shapes startup access. They analyze real incidents — AWS’s Tokyo region failure, a Level 3 vs. Cogent peering war, or the latency impact of a new data-center route — and explain what network engineers actually debate in NANOG meetings. This is not a ‘how the internet works’ primer; it’s the layer-3 view for professionals who manage, build, or invest in network infrastructure. Expect granular discussions of dark fiber, CDN caching strategies, and the politics of IP address allocation. By the end, you’ll see the internet as a finite, fragile, and fiercely competitive topology — and understand why a single undersea cable cut can reset stock prices. #InternetInfrastructure #NetworkEngineering…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-18T22:19:10.157593+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/networking-tech-with-fexingo-internet-infrastructure-routing-and-network-engineering-7871928"},"episode":{"title":"How EVPN Is Replacing VLANs in the Data Center","slug":"how-evpn-is-replacing-vlans-in-the-data-center","published_at":"2026-07-02T22:29:29+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/networking-tech-with-fexingo-internet-infrastructure-routing-and-network-engineering-7871928/how-evpn-is-replacing-vlans-in-the-data-center","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/networking-tech-with-fexingo-internet-infrastructure-routing-and-network-engineering-7871928","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/networking-tech/episode-0087.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/networking-tech/episode-0087.mp3","summary":"Lucas and Luna unpack Ethernet VPN (EVPN), the technology quietly replacing traditional VLANs in modern data centers. They walk through a real migration at a mid-sized cloud provider that cut spanning-tree loops by 80 percent and slashed provisioning time from days to minutes. The episode explains how EVPN uses MP-BGP to distribute MAC and IP addresses, enabling any-to-any connectivity across leaf-spine fabrics. Lucas breaks down why EVPN is gaining traction over legacy VLAN/VXLAN setups, especially for multi-tenant environments. Luna asks about the learning curve and whether small shops should jump in now. The hosts also explore how EVPN integrates with network automation tools like Ansible for declarative intent. A concrete case: a retail chain's data center migration that eliminated Layer 2 boundary headaches during Black Friday traffic spikes. Ends with a reflection on whether EVPN will eventually make VLANs obsolete entirely. #EVPN #DataCenter #Networking #VXLAN #BGP #LeafSpine #NetworkAutomation #Layer2 #MultiTenant #CloudProvider #Ansible #NetworkEngineering #SDN #CampusFabric #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #NetworkingTech Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Lucas and Luna unpack Ethernet VPN (EVPN), the technology quietly replacing traditional VLANs in modern data centers.
