Routing Bells – A Christmas Carol for network engineers
“Routing Bells”
Verse 1:
Dashing through the LAN
In a one-gig open sleigh
O’er the switches we go
Pinging all the way
Bells on routers ring
Making VLANs bright
What fun it is to troubleshoot
And fix things through the night, hey!
Chorus:
Routing bells, routing bells
Routing all the way
Oh, what fun it is to trace
And fix those lines today, hey!
Routing bells, routing bells
Routing all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a well-optimized LAN!
Verse 2:
A day or two ago
I thought I’d take a look
At the OSPF map
In a network book
The packets were zipping fast
Across the BGP
Oh, what fun it is to work
In this network galaxy, hey!
Chorus:
Routing bells, routing bells
Routing all the way
Oh, what fun it is to trace
And fix those lines today, hey!
Routing bells, routing bells
Routing all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a well-optimized LAN!
Verse 3:
Now the Wi-Fi’s up
The VPN’s secure
VoIP calls ring clear
Oh, that’s for sure
We’ll toast with bits and bytes
To this networking cheer
Merry Christmas, engineers
And a Happy New Year!
Chorus:
Routing bells, routing bells
Routing all the way
Oh, what fun it is to trace
And fix those lines today, hey!
Routing bells, routing bells
Routing all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a well-optimized LAN!
