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 Programmability with OpenConfig Is Changing Vendor Lock-In","slug":"how-network-programmability-with-openconfig-is-changing-vendor-lock-in","published_at":"2026-07-14T22:20:06+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/networking-tech-with-fexingo-internet-infrastructure-routing-and-network-engineering-7871928/how-network-programmability-with-openconfig-is-changing-vendor-lock-in","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-0111.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/networking-tech/episode-0111.mp3","summary":"In episode 111 of Networking Tech with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore how OpenConfig and gNMI (gRPC Network Management Interface) are giving network engineers a vendor-neutral way to configure and monitor devices from different manufacturers. They break down the practical impact: a single tool that can push a BGP policy to both a Cisco router and a Juniper router using the same YANG model. Lucas explains how this contrasts with the old CLI-driven, vendor-specific approach, and they discuss real adoption by large operators like Google and AT&T. The episode also covers the role of streaming telemetry versus legacy SNMP polling, and why OpenConfig is reshaping network automation without requiring a forklift upgrade. If you have ever wrestled with translating configs between vendors, this episode gives you a concrete, usable understanding of what open network programmability actually means. #OpenConfig #gNMI #NetworkProgrammability #YANGModels #VendorNeutral #NetworkAutomation #StreamingTelemetry #SNMP #BGP #Cisco #Juniper #Google #ATT #NetworkEngineering #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #NetworkTech Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"In episode 111 of Networking Tech with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore how OpenConfig and gNMI (gRPC Network Management Interface) are giving network engi…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":544,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/networking-tech-with-fexingo-internet-infrastructure-routing-and-network-engineering-7871928/episodes/how-network-programmability-with-openconfig-is-changing-vendor-lock-in/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/networking-tech-with-fexingo-internet-infrastructure-routing-and-network-engineering-7871928/how-network-programmability-with-openconfig-is-changing-vendor-lock-in.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
