This is an awesome recipe for alcoholic ginger beer. http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/30492-ginger-beer-recipe-scratch-brew-no-kit/

I find the better home made ginger beers use honey or dark sugars.

I'm not convinced that PMTUD works reliably enough right now with IPv4 to be counted upon, and I don't expect this to change. Right now, it's on the client side to work around it when it's broken, which is almost always.

I've heard that it breaks IPv6, but I've not seen compelling evidence that the situation will be reversed. Anybody have more information on this?

Do you think it's not reliable because existing networks don't support it well? whether that's firewalls or other factors.

It's widely used for customer identification in provider/metro networks for example.

This.

I've used it before the only gripe I have with it is various DHCP implementations on CPE. The DCHP on your PC isn't the same type of DHCP on a some home-gateway-vlan-router-switch.

I've heard the JNCIP-SP is pretty challenging but then again the guy wasn't studying for his CCIE.

Faceplates break and sellers want to get the most bang for their buck will want to have their product look as close to new as possible. It's a perception thing.

Rolling with Visio 2013 here. Also created a custom stencil I use for any diagrams I create for solving issues with custom scale based connector points so resizing stencils doesn't break things. Also having host names and IPs can help at times so there's space above and below the icon.

Come to think of it I could probably get rid of the "router" icon but at times I deal with L2 things.

They're the diagrams that don't matter ;)

Edit: to techs..

And after what feels like a million gins and a sprinkling of beers I made it back from a 30th alive.

Also someone got engaged so that was fun too :)

At some point you realise the cute pictures are just that and aren't needed any more. Does having X cuteness help me convey Y information? No, no it doesn't and suddenly boxes become your go to.

Not everyone will agree with this and maybe one day you will but it's a record I've heard play many times and people arrive at the same place.

But not everyone likes this so I understand.

After a while people end up here. It's only a matter of time.

I use the ones that Stretch mentioned ages ago. Otherwise i use boxes with some customer connector points.]

The third option which i use the most is an icon inside a box with custom connector points around the outside which are percentage based so resizing doesn't ruin things.
