Hi Andrew,
Many thanks for digging up the slides, and for your other links. I'm currently looking into doing a CCNA and thought LB was perhaps an area I should know more about in practice.
Thanks,

Much as I would like to come to the talks (when physical rather than virtual), that would probably be quite challenging as I'm deaf, so I would be grateful for slides/notes etc if any. Couldn't see anything on the website and just thought I'd ask.
