Comment Re:No HDMI 2.0 support, not even in Fiji (Score 1) 87

Displayport to hdmi 2.0 cables are all of 11 bucks on amazon. Oddly think OEM's will be capable of throwing whatever chip is in there on an output.

Every decent TV I've had has been able to output it's sound via optical/coax to the receiver, hell hdmi has a standard for doing just that.

If your 100% full you need more capacity, basic redundancy should allow one edge router to fail at any given time. This is part of the point of 95th percentile billing if you have say 2 providers with the same sized pipe your peak utilization should never exceed 100% of a link, money wise your paying the difference in the per mbs rate and the port cost.

Hate to break it to ya software has always defined networks.

There is a lot of noise about moving the management side out of the chassis. This does not magically make a L3 switch with a a 32k entry fib work as a core BGP router. In some ways it's nice you can stop paying your vendor for massively overpriced licences to turn on sunk cost features. It gets very scary when they want to throw boxes all over the place but centralize management. It realy seems like an excuse to keep putting in pitifully small CPU on L3 devices where a few hundred bucks for a xeon to run the high level stuff overseeing a mips arm etc that's dealing with low level hardware.

But I guess it's to be expected these were the same sort of people that though 2 switches in a stack were redundant.

You only have to remember the prefix, after that you can easily put the human readable version of the box's ipv4 address. In a corp environment it's easy to have a site ID coupled with vlan ID.

The whole concept of automatic addressing for anything but desktops is broken, security devices and routers often do not and should not have and DNS servers defined. IPv6 is perfectly happy with static addressing, do wish somebody would set aside a /8 or something for default everything's.
