TNO059: Design for Operations: Getting Vendor Support in the Ops Ecosystem
Scott Robohn and Russ White discuss the importance of designing protocols with operational teams in mind to ensure usability and avoid creating inoperable solutions.
MAIN POINTS
- Design should consider how protocols will be used by operational teams.
- Protocol designers often neglect the needs of those who operate them.
- Inoperable solutions result from a disconnect between design and operations.
- Effective design requires understanding the operational ecosystem.
TAKEAWAYS
- Integrating operational feedback into design can prevent usability issues.
- Collaboration between designers and operators enhances protocol effectiveness.
- Awareness of operational challenges is crucial for successful design.
- Bridging the gap between design and operations improves overall network functionality.
