Packets

Hey networking community!

To get you through another week of cutovers, pcaps, and folks blaming the network when it’s yet another DNS issue, I made this song parody just for you 🙂

It’s called Packets, based on one of the best songs to hit the airwaves in February 1996, and in my humblest of opinions, it’s the perfect soundtrack for your next 2am change window…

Enjoy!

(the lyrics are in the post for your viewing convenience)

Movin’ to the country
Gonna route a lot of packets
Movin’ to the country
Gonna route me a lot of packets
Movin’ to the country
Gonna route a lot of packets
Movin’ to the country
I’m gonna route me a lot of packets

Packets route on a LAN
Sometimes headed for the WAN
In a colo space downtown
If I had my little way
I’d route packets every day
Finding shortest paths in the shade

Movin’ to the country
Gonna route a lot of packets
Movin’ to the country
Gonna route me a lot of packets
Movin’ to the country
Gonna route a lot of packets
Movin’ to the country
I’m gonna route me a lot of packets

Took a little nap where the cables twist
Grabbed some multimode in my fist
And dreamed about you, Dijkstra
NAT’d public space inside
Make a little room for a packet to hide
A network’s way to let you in, or deny

Millions of packets, packets for me
Millions of peaches, packets for free
Millions of packets, packets for me
Millions of peaches, packets for free
Look out!

Millions of packets, packets for me
Millions of peaches, packets for free
Millions of packets, packets for me
Millions of peaches, packets for free
