Thanks, appreciate it.

First word that came to my mind.

Like a sneaker-net, but in space! I like it!

If I had a niche in networking that I specialize in, it would be ‘border security.’ It makes me laugh that everyone in security markets zero trust and CASB and says networks are ‘borderless’ - it’s just not true. I am constantly dealing with borders between ‘fabrics’ and locations. Maybe I’m just a dullard, but I see the niche I am working in only become more important as we move to the cloud and distributed networking and security paradigms.

Funneling the herd into the slaughterhouse.

Ha! At home I run a Ubiquiti stack with my lab hung off it (switches, ASA, FortiGate).
