CDFW begins: "I have concluded that nobody really understands networks and how they work. Not the makers of network equipment, not the makers of computers and not the guys who install them. It's all a kind of fuzzy, dark art (like accounting) that we need to have and use but that remains for almost all of us a frightening, mysterious realm filled with magic and goblins.
"Primary evidence: I've looked at dozens of books and articles on networking, and not a single one of them can explain anything in plain English. Ergo, none of these guys really understand it, they just try a list of incantations until they find the combination of incantations that works. With luck, the spell holds and you don't have to worry about it until a piece of equipment fails."
More on CDFW's pain in the next post.
