Jeremy created GNS3 while at University. GNS3 has impacted the lives of hundreds of thousands of network engineers around the world. In this video, Jeremy discusses the GNS3 architecture. GNS3 is split into four parts: 1) GUI (project gns3-gui, gns3-web) 2) Controller (project gns3-server) 3) Compute (project gns3-server) 4) Emulators (qemu, iou, dynamips...) The controller is in charge of everything. It’s the part that manages the state of a project, and saves it to disk. Only one controller exists. The GUI displays the topology. The GUI has only direct contact with the controller. The compute servers are where emulators are executed. If the compute is on the same server as the controller, they are in the same process. For each node of the topology will start an emulator instance.

I interview Eric Chou - author of the book: Mastering Python Networking: Your one-stop solution to using Python for network automation, DevOps, and Test-Driven Development. He tells us his views of what to study in 2019. Is OpenFlow dead? Is it worth learning OpenFlow? Should you study for CCNA? Or CCNP? Or even CCIE? Or should you just study Python? Which is better to learn first? Python or Ansible?

Bertie says: "If you are stuck in a rut, hit the books, put in the hours and you will receive the rewards!" and "You cannot go and work for someone 8 hours a day and then go home and not work on your own dreams!"
