The Thinking Network The Thinking Network (Installment 12): Live AI Telemetry & Automated Fallbacks Installment 12 of The Thinking Network. We wire the trust monitor to live data, utilizing a Prometheus Python exporter to dynamically gate AI routing authority based on real-time telemetry.
The Thinking Network The Thinking Network (Installment 11): AI Trust Layers & Explainable Networking Installment 11 of The Thinking Network. We define a Trust Index Formula based on accuracy, reliability, and explainability to govern autonomous network AI.
The Thinking Network The Thinking Network (Installment 10): Predictive Routing with Machine Learning Installment 10 of The Thinking Network. Intelligence enters the loop. We implement a machine learning model using linear regression to predict network congestion and proactively reroute BGP traffic.
The Right Tool Local LLM Task Routing Decision: The Right Tool (Part 5) The final routing decision for local LLM deployment in a network lab. Matching specific AI models to voice loops, background tasks, and critical operations.
The Thinking Network The Thinking Network (Installment 9): Reactive BGP Automation & SR Linux Installment 9 of The Thinking Network. We build a reactive actuator that reads Prometheus telemetry and autonomously manipulates BGP Local Preference on SR Linux to mitigate SLA breaches.
The Thinking Network The Thinking Network (Installment 8): The Sensing Layer & Streaming Telemetry Installment 8 of The Thinking Network. We give the network eyes and ears by replacing legacy SNMP with high-frequency streaming telemetry, Prometheus, and gNMI on SR Linux.
The Thinking Network The Thinking Network (Installment 7): Automated Network Health Audits Installment 7 of The Thinking Network. We run a programmatic health audit on the SR Linux fabric, validating IS-IS adjacencies and BGP sessions before initiating the AI intelligence layer.
The Thinking Network The Thinking Network (Installment 6): The BGP Overlay & EVPN Services Installment 6 of The Thinking Network. We deploy the BGP overlay and EVPN address families to create the control plane lever our autonomous AI will use for traffic engineering.
The Right Tool Evaluating Local LLMs on Network Tasks: The Right Tool (Part 1) Six local LLMs tested against five real network lab tasks. A baseline cold start run exposing the gap between assumed hardware capability and actual execution.
