AF: Rob Shakir on all things OpenConfig

Finally we were able to put this together! Rob joins us and shares his wisdom and insight in a two part series where we discuss OpenConfig, gNMI, gNOI, PCEP, gRIBI, P4…and more! Tune in for a lengthy but awesome discussion.

Special thanks to Rob for recording this a second time as we were not able to release the first recording we did due to some audio issues.
