Linux Networking Linux is a powerful operating system and tool. One of the reasons for this is the flexibility of Linux Networking. We will look at what advantages Linux networking has, why Linux Networking has made Linux a powerful platform. Also we will look at what exciting advances are being made with Linux Networking that will rocket Linux into the future.
My Experience Unix user/admin for 16 years Self-Taught networking HP OpenView Certified Veritas NerveCenter Certified
Linux Networking "Recent changes in the areas of both software and hardware are combining to revolutionize networking." -- Marcio Saitio, Director of Technology Cyclades Corporation
Revolution Linux is positioned to ride the wave of the next revolution in the computer industry
Next Revolution Further integration of - Network Devices - Servers/Services No longer a clear definition between network and other devices Added functionality to network devices
Why Linux? Open Source Flexibility Security
Open Source Open Source is a key to the popularity of Linux today.
Open Source Open Source has allowed Linux to grow and expand beyond markets
Open Source Open Source has allowed Linux to become a fertile growing ground for new ideas
Open Source Has made Linux a popular "first port" platform for new embedded hardware.
Linux Flexibility Not locked to one protocol/stack Uses "common" Unix API's and interfaces
Linux Flexibility Ability to add and modify where needed/wanted
Linux Security Allow you to manage your own level of security
