JesterPen & Network
Picture a world where routers develop a sense of humor, they reroute every packet straight to the punchline and drop everything else—does that even fit your uptime metrics?
Routers that laugh instead of forwarding are a recipe for packet loss, so I’d treat the humor as an outlier packet and queue it in a separate VLAN for analysis, just to keep the rest of the traffic on schedule.
Nice, you’re basically turning your network into a comedy club—just keep the punchlines in their own VLAN so the data traffic doesn’t get lost in the laughter.
Sure thing, I’ll carve out a dedicated VLAN for the jokes, keep a close eye on latency, and make sure the core stays steady so the data traffic doesn’t get lost in the laughter.
Sounds solid, just remember to keep the jokes on the edge, not the core—otherwise you’ll end up with a laugh‑burst at the backbone.
Right, I’ll keep the comedy traffic on the edge, separate from the core, and monitor the backhaul for any burst of laughter that might flood the backbone.
