The small isp experience
Hello everyone hope you are well.
2 years ago I got a job as a network engineer in a small isp ,funnily enough back then I was afraid that I don't have good enough fundamentals , now when I look at it most I stuff I was worried about didn't even happen .
Problem is the isp im in is using very old tech , mostly layer 2 backbone (yes ik shocking but its like a 3rd world country so don't be suprised) ,static routing with some bgp for peering.
Now the reason im making this post is I've been seeing talking about mpls backbones ,segment routing ,overlays ,automation.....
I get that huge feeling of FOMO ,like a caveman looking at alien technology and the thing is im gonna be 30 soon so I feel like the window is only getting smaller.
So does anyone know what is a possible solution is building it in simulator enough to understand, or will anyone take me seriously if I say I have experience with new tech cz it building it in eve ng once
Hope this post made sense
