Ever wondered how IS-IS actually drives IPv6 into your IGP… and why the "single vs. multi-topology" choice matters more than most engineers think?

🎬 My latest YouTube video breaks it all down:
👉 https://lnkd.in/d2qB9t6W

In this session you'll learn:
✅ What each option really does under the hood
✅ When Single Topology is enough — and when it quietly breaks
✅ Why Multi-Topology can save your dual-stack design
✅ Real trade-offs you can apply to production networks

🎁 BONUS — You're invited to my FREE Webinar!

I'm hosting a for-free, interactive session on Segment Routing MPLS 🧠
We'll tackle the 3 questions every network engineer should be able to answer:

❓ WHAT is SR-MPLS?
⏱️ WHEN should you use it?
💡 WHY does it matter for your network?

This won't be a one-way lecture — it's a live discussion. Bring your questions, challenge my answers, and let's dig in together. 🤝

Here it's an interesting reflection I want to share. ISIS vs OSPF? ....

This has been in discussion for many years, and still there is whenever ISPs or specially enterprise networks want to implement the IGP for their networks. In fact ISIS provides much more scalability and flexibility than OSPF, due the fact is build base on Layer 2, and have TLVs where it facilitates the additions of new feature support. Clear example of that is IPv6, Segment Routing, SR-TE features, and so.

While OSPF, is layer 3 protocol, already defined, base on LSAs to propagates updates over the network. New additions like IPv6 requires a totally separate protocol which is OSPFv3. But this does not mean that is not adequated for all type of network and requirement. Probably ISIS is the best for medium and large ISPs network with prospect to grow and provide more services, though OSPF still keep one card in the hand, which is that most of the enterprises teams, still knows better OSPF than IS-IS, and here it comes where manageability and knowledge engineering play a role.

Sometimes, you do not need flexibility, or new feature addition, sometimes you just need the network to be the more manageable and the team capable to handle it.

Share me your thoughts if you have one!

🚀 If you are a Network Engineer and want to start learning AI but don’t know where to begin, this program is designed for you.

Today, technologies such as AI, LLMs, automation, and Agentic AI are becoming increasingly important in networking, cloud, infrastructure, and operations environments. However, many engineers still struggle to understand the foundations and how all these technologies connect together.

This bootcamp focuses on the fundamental pillars of modern AI from an engineering perspective.

The goal is to provide a clear and structured path to understand how modern AI systems work and how they can be applied in networking, automation, and operational environments :)

I’ve just started my journey toward CCIE Automation! It’s exciting to see how much attention AI is getting nowadays, but at the core of many companies, the real foundation still lies in software development and strong engineering principles. AI definitely helps us move faster, but it builds on top of a solid foundation that is already in place.

I’ll be sharing my notes and learnings throughout this journey. If you’re on the same path, let me know!
