TSQL Regular Expression Workbench (simpe-talk)
This Workbench is about using Regular expressions with SQL Server via TSQL. It doesn't even attempt to teach how regular expressions work or how to pull them together. There are plenty of such resources on the Web. The aim is to demonstrate a few possibilities and try to persuade you to experiment with them if you don't already use Regex with SQL Server.

xp_regex: Regular Expressions in SQL Server 2000 (CodeProject)
This is a SQL Server 2000 Extended Stored Procedure writted in Managed C++. It allows you to use regular expressions in T-SQL.
Regular Expressions are probably the best tool for text parsing. Using Regular Expressions GREATLY simplifies anything for which you would normally use CHARINDEX, PATINDEX, SUBSTRING, STUFF, REPLACE, etc.
xp_regex is an Extended Stored Procedure for SQL Server 2000 written in Managed C++ that lets you use Regular Expressions from T-SQL. In case you’re skeptical about the performance when mixing non-.NET code (in this case SQL Server) and .NET code in the same process, don't be.

SQL 2000 DBA Toolkit:RegExp (SQL Server Central)
SQL 2000 DBA Toolkit Part 2 Part 1 (SQL Server Central)
Regular Expression Tools
Regular expressions (regex's) are a precise notation for approximate matching. One of the most popular styles of regular expression syntax is the Perl syntax. The regular expression tools in the toolkit use the Boost::Regex++ library, which is compliant with Perl syntax. NOTE: Microsoft's regular expression syntax differs somewhat from Perl syntax, so .NET-specific regular expressions might require tweaking to use with these tools.

Reliable Static Routing Backup Using Object Tracking (Cisco Systems)
Reliable Static Routing Backup Using Object Tracking (Cisco Systems)
The Reliable Static Routing Backup Using Object Tracking feature introduces the ability for the Cisco IOS software to use Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) pings to identify when a Point-to-Point over Ethernet (PPPoE) or IP Security Protocol (IPSec) Virtual Private Network (VPN) tunnel goes down, allowing the initiation of a backup connection from any alternative port. The Reliable Static Routing Backup Using Object Tracking feature is compatible with both preconfigured static routes and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) configurations.

TCP/IP and NBT configuration parameters for Windows XP (Microsoft)
TCP/IP and NBT configuration parameters for Windows XP (Microsoft)
This article defines all the registry parameters that are used to configure the protocol driver, Tcpip.sys. Tcpip.sys implements the standard TCP/IP network protocols. The TCP/IP protocol suite implementation for Windows XP reads all its configuration data from the registry. This information is written to the registry by the Network tool in Control Panel as part of the Setup process. Some of this information is also supplied by the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Client service if the DHCP Client service is enabled.The implementation of the protocol suite should perform correctly and efficiently in most environments by using only the configuration information that is gathered by DHCP and by the Network tool in Control Panel. Optimal default values for all other configurable aspects of the protocols have been encoded in the drivers. There may be some unusual circumstances in customer installations where changes to certain default values are appropriate. To handle these cases, optional registry parameters can be created to modify the default behavior of some parts of the protocol drivers.Caution The Windows XP TCP/IP implementation is largely self-tuning. Adjusting registry parameters without careful study may reduce your computer's performance.

Filtered Index Design Guidelines (MSDN, SQL Server 2008)
Filtered Index Design Guidelines (SQL Server 2008, MSDN)
A filtered index is an optimized nonclustered index, especially suited to cover queries that select from a well-defined subset of data. It uses a filter predicate to index a portion of rows in the table. A well-designed filtered index can improve query performance, reduce index maintenance costs, and reduce index storage costs compared with full-table indexes.
Filtered indexes can provide the following advantages over full-table indexes:
- Improved query performance and plan quality
A well-designed filtered index improves query performance and execution plan quality because it is smaller than a full-table nonclustered index and has filtered statistics. The filtered statistics are more accurate than full-table statistics because they cover only the rows in the filtered index. - Reduced index maintenance costs
An index is maintained only when data manipulation language (DML) statements affect the data in the index. A filtered index reduces index maintenance costs compared with a full-table nonclustered index because it is smaller and is only maintained when the data in the index is affected. It is possible to have a large number of filtered indexes, especially when they contain data that is affected infrequently. Similarly, if a filtered index contains only the frequently affected data, the smaller size of the index reduces the cost of updating the statistics. - Reduced index storage costs
Creating a filtered index can reduce disk storage for nonclustered indexes when a full-table index is not necessary. You can replace a full-table nonclustered index with multiple filtered indexes without significantly increasing the storage requirements.

BGP Link Bandwidth (Cisco Systems)
The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Link Bandwidth feature is used to advertise the bandwidth of an autonomous system exit link as an extended community. This feature is configured for links between directly connected external BGP (eBGP) neighbors. The link bandwidth extended community attribute is propagated to iBGP peers when extended community exchange is enabled. This feature is used with BGP multipath features to configure load balancing over links with unequal bandwidth.

The BGP Configuration Using Peer Templates feature introduces a new mechanism that groups distinct neighbor configurations for Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) neighbors that share common policies. This type of policy configuration has been traditionally configured with BGP peer groups. However, peer groups have certain limitations because peer group configuration is bound to update grouping and specific session characteristics. Configuration templates provide an alternative to peer group configuration and overcome some of the limitations of peer groups.

Setting a Preferred Route by Influencing EIGRP Metrics (Cisco Systems)
This document describes how to create a preferred route by influencing Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) metrics. Given the topology shown in the network diagram, this document describes several ways to influence IP traffic from the clients to the servers so that the path R1>R2>R3 is preferred. The goal is to make the path R1>R2>R4 into a backup that is only used in the event of a failure at R3.

How Does Load Balancing Work? (Cisco Systems)
How Does Load Balancing Work? - Cisco Systems
Load balancing is a standard functionality of the Cisco IOS router software, and is available across all router platforms. It is inherent to the forwarding process in the router and is automatically activated if the routing table has multiple paths to a destination. It is based on standard routing protocols, such as Routing Information Protocol (RIP), RIPv2, Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), and Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP), or derived from statically configured routes and packet forwarding mechanisms. It allows a router to use multiple paths to a destination when forwarding packets...

Load Sharing with BGP in Single and Multihomed Environments: Sample Configurations (Cisco Systems)
Load Sharing with BGP in Single and Multihomed Environments (Cisco Systems)
Load sharing allows a router to distribute the outgoing and incoming traffic among multiple paths. The paths are derived either statically or with dynamic protocols, such as:
- Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
-Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)
- Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Protocol
- Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP)
By default, Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) selects only a single best path and does not perform load balancing. This document shows how to perform load sharing in different scenarios with the use of BGP. For additional information about load balancing, refer to How Does Load Balancing Work?.
