OSPF rarely breaks randomly.
It exposes MTU mismatches, bad links, or forgotten configs.
Here’s a real-world guide to troubleshooting OSPF like an architect — practical, no slides.

OSPF gets a lot simpler after your first real outage.
Design lessons from the field:
protect Area 0, summarize early, respect redistribution.
Built from scars, not theory.

OSPF isn’t magic.
It’s math, structure, and one very honest algorithm.
If you’ve ever wondered how routes are actually chosen, this dives into the SPF algorithm in plain English.
Clear, practical, architect-level.

LSAs are the part of OSPF everyone pretends to understand.
Type 1–7. Flooding. NSSA weirdness. Real-world failure modes.
If you design networks, you need this.
No fluff. Just clarity.

Most engineers memorize OSPF areas.
Few understand why they exist.
Areas aren’t about hierarchy — they’re about containing chaos, limiting SPF blast radius, and keeping your core alive when things flap.

OSPF has a reputation for being complex, but most of that comes from learning it backwards. This post is a practical intro to what OSPF actually is, how it works, and why architects still trust it in real networks.

OSPF neighbor formation isn’t just a diagram — it’s a journey.
From the first Hello to Full adjacency, and the real-world lessons in between.

I had the pleasure of being on the @thebeardeditdad.com 's podcast to discuss soft skills and why they matter. It is often overlooked that technical chops is one thing but soft skills matter more than people think. Once I realized this it paid dividends. youtu.be/Axn7zsR1qFI?...

After a successful #ciscolive, it’s time to go off the grid for a week for a much deserved vacation.
Want to hear a confesstion, I used to hate public speaking. I wrote a blog about my Cisco Live confession here: bit.ly/3ZtNwFE #CLUS #CiscoLive #Networking #Career #CareerGrowth
When Keith Barker, the person who taught me networking, compliments my #CLUS presentation, I know I'm on the right track! Catch me at Forward Networks booth 3919 for a demo, poker chip, and a chance to play roulette to win some cool prizes. #ForwardNetworks #NDT #CiscoLive
First presentation was a packed house! Don’t miss your chance to see ay one of these demos I am giving at Forward Networks, Inc. booth 3919. Sit for a demo and get a poker chip to play roulette for a chance to win cool some prices. #ForwardNetworks #NDT #CLUS #CiscoLive
As I’m sitting in Atlanta airport waiting to get on my flight to #clus, I can’t help but think about the past and how I used to think. This hit home and wanted to share it. Hopefully it helps someone along the way. Hope everyone has safe travels today and see you all there!

Excited to be heading back to #RSAC this year!
Forward Networks is turning network data into security superpowers. Come see the magic at booth S-1055.
Stop by, say hi, and get a glimpse of network security intelligence even 007 would envy.
Excited to bring back Demo Tuesday!
In the first session, I’ll be cleaning up some old routing policy—what could possibly go wrong, right? Join me on April 15th at 2PM EST to see what does go wrong (and how Forward Networks, Inc. can help when things go sideways).
My last android phone was a Galaxy Note 2 as well. With the family and the kids it’s so easy to communicate. I am starting to get annoyed with the lack of customizability. All my android friends are telling me to switch and all my apple friends are like no stay! Still doing more research.
