- Oct 22, 2026 Tunnel Encapsulation Overhead and Path MTU Discovery How many bytes each overlay scheme adds, why ICMP-based path MTU discovery breaks across a tunnel, and the options for keeping an inner frame inside the underlay MTU. networking
- Apr 23, 2026 What a Private Field Actually Hides How access control is checked, why private members remain reachable through reflection or linking tricks, and why the module rather than the class is the enforceable boundary. programming languages
- Apr 22, 2026 MTU and Fragmentation Across a VPC Boundary Why the usable MTU inside a virtual network is smaller than the physical link MTU, how encapsulation and translation each consume bytes, and what happens when a packet that needs fragmenting is dropped instead. cloud infrastructure
- Nov 21, 2025 Connascence: Coupling Measured by Strength and Distance A finer taxonomy than fan-in and fan-out: nine kinds of change-propagating relationship, why strength only matters relative to locality, and how to trade one kind for another. software architecture
- Jul 22, 2025 The Overlay and Underlay Split in Virtual Networks How a virtual network carries its own addresses inside an ordinary routed network, what the mapping between the two layers costs, and where the separation leaks. networking
- Nov 4, 2024 VXLAN Header Layout and the Scope of the VNI A byte-level reading of the eight-byte VXLAN header, why the tenant identifier is twenty-four bits, and what the reserved fields constrain. networking
- Oct 24, 2023 Package Encapsulation and the Leak of Internal Types How languages draw the visibility line around a package, which constructs quietly widen it, and why an exported type in a public signature defeats the boundary it was meant to protect. software architecture
