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 Network Automation Is Reshaping the Daily Work of Network Engineers","slug":"how-network-automation-is-reshaping-the-daily-work-of-network-engineers","published_at":"2026-07-09T10:13:02+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/networking-tech-with-fexingo-internet-infrastructure-routing-and-network-engineering-7871928/how-network-automation-is-reshaping-the-daily-work-of-network-engineers","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-0100.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/networking-tech/episode-0100.mp3","summary":"In this milestone 100th episode of Networking Tech with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore a topic that hits close to home for every network engineer: how automation is fundamentally changing the job itself. They walk through a concrete example—a mid-sized enterprise that replaced manual switch configuration with Ansible playbooks, cutting deployment time from 8 hours to 18 minutes. They discuss what gets automated versus what still requires human judgment, why the role is becoming more about software engineering than cable management, and how earning a CCNP or JNCIP is now table stakes for entry-level roles. Lucas shares a recent survey from the Network Automation Forum showing that 68 percent of network teams now use infrastructure-as-code tools, up from 22 percent just four years ago. Luna pushes back on the idea that automation kills jobs, arguing it frees engineers to focus on architecture and security.
