  1. Some outsourcing insights on Surviving Outsourcing? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Outsourcing is always done for one thing and one thing only. To save money. What this means is that those who get outsourced are expected to do the same work or more work for less cost. It wont be apparent immediately, often you move over to your new organization with your salary and most of your benefits intact. What happens over time is salary increases and bonuses become smaller than they would have been had you not been outsourced. Also your new employer may not backfill workers who retire or quit. Other places they start to pinch would be training and travel budgets, maybe even redo your 401k contributions to give you less, etc. Over time they will reduce costs one way or another. Hard to give advice on this since its a very personal decision. How confident are you that you can move to another job? Do you like your current job and coworkers? You need to factor these things in when deciding to move over or find a new employer. You may want to ask if you would be entitled to a severance package if you decline to move. If severance is a sizable chunk of money its another component to factor in. Best of luck!

  2. Re:Cisco gear just isn't that good. on Duke Wireless Problem Caused by Cisco, not iPhone · · Score: 1

    Are you saying that tftp is no longer support in ROMMON on a 7200/G2NPE? I have a few deployed and haven't had any crash yet nor had a reason to tinker in their ROMMON. So knowing more about this type of scenario would be helpful. Latest Cisco docs (last updated this month/link below) still shows TFTP recovery procedures. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps3 59/products_tech_note09186a00800a750e.shtml/

    18,000 arp requests a second? Smells like a spanning tree loop to me. Thats where I would start looking. Could be a single AP bridging the same vlan with spanning tree disabled. Anyone roaming into into its range could cause havoc.

    Actually Source Routing has been around since 1981 and was detailed in RFC 791. In general its a bad idea to let hosts try to pick their path through the network. Routers have a better view of the topology and are relied upon to pick the best path by design. End hosts typically don't know about anything past their default gateway nor should they need to know.
