Discontiguous Masks
Discontiguous masks are something that is going to be somewhat historic within the network design toolbox. It is basically a methodology of looking at particular bits of a network/host definition. The big thing to recall is that as a packet crosses a network device it does so within a packet. The packet is nothing more than a stream of bits. Within the packet header there are bits that define the source network address and the destination network address. This is where discontiguous masks come into play. With a system that can leverage discontiguous masks, you can access information about any part of the network bits, not just starting reading and then stopping (or vice versa) when you look at a bit boundry masking only.

Work Life Balance
So far one of the biggest things that I have picked up on is that I have a little bit better work life balance. That is, when I get home I’m finding that I get more family time and less time in front of a computer while at home. I’m not sure if this is a moving from the corporate life into the service provider space or not. Either way, this is a win.
