Ep 34 - An Intro to ThousandEyes

On May 28, 2020, Cisco announced it's intent to acquire ThousandEyes. On this episode, we speak with a fellow Cisco SE who was a heavy user of ThousandEyes in his previous role and go over its uses, methods and how it can offer additional visibility of network performance beyond the LAN. As an added bonus, we had the privilege of featuring "Old Town Network" at the end of the episode performed by Mike Schultz and his team's group called "Layer8".
