I'm Chuck Reserva

I’m a Network Operations Analyst (Information Systems Analyst II) at the Illinois Department of Innovation & Technology (DoIT), where I support the design, implementation, and operation of the state’s high-speed, routed WAN infrastructure. With over a decade of experience across public and private sector networks, my primary focus is large scale BGP routing (IPv4 and IPv6), including egress router design, route-policy enforcement, prefix aggregation and transit/IXP connectivity. I regularly work with Cisco WAN aggregation and Internet edge platform, including NCS 5500, NCS 5700 series routers and also support Cisco ASR 9000 platforms that interface between Internet edge and core routing domains, ensuring correct end-to-end traffic across the network. I routinely operate in production routing environments where correctness, stability and traffic behavior directly impact statewide services. My work emphasizes scalable network design, operational reliability, and modern IPv6 adoption. Separately, I operate a personal Autonomous System (AS394935), providing hands-on experience with Internet routing and IPv6 deployment.
