Cloudflare and Google Offer App Developers $100,000 in Cloud Platform Credits
When Cloudflare started, our company needed two things: an initial group of users, and the finances to fund our development. We know most developers face the same issues. The Cloudflare Apps Platform solves the first problem by allowing third parties to develop applications that can be delivered across Cloudflare's edge network to any of the six million sites powered by Cloudflare. The Cloudflare Developer Fund alleviates the second by giving developers the financial support they need to fund their company. Today, we are excited to announce another initiative that will make it possible for developers to make their app dreams a reality.
Cloudflare and Google Cloud are working together to offer developers the resources needed to quickly launch and scale Cloudflare Apps. This partnership will give any Cloudflare Apps developer the chance to access a wide range of benefits including $3k - $100k of Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for one year at no cost. Some startups will also be eligible for 24/7 technical support, and access to GCP’s technical solutions team. This supports a core belief of the Cloudflare Apps initiative: we want developers to focus on building great Apps, not worry about paying for infrastructure. Hundreds of startups have Continue reading

Recognizing Internet visionaries, innovators, and leaders from around the world
As the Internet Society celebrates 25 years of advocacy for an open, globally-connected, and secure Internet, we are honored to recognize some of the trailblazers who have fueled the Internet’s historic growth.
On September 18, the Internet Society gathered to honor the fourth class of Internet Hall of Fame Inductees at UCLA, where nearly 50 years ago the first message was sent over the Internet’s predecessor, the ARPANET. Over the years, the Internet has evolved thanks to the tireless efforts of individuals, including these inductees, who believed in the potential of an open Internet.
Representing 10 countries, the 14 individuals who comprise the 2017 inductee class are computer scientists, academics, inventors and authors who have advanced the Internet with key technical contributions, fostered its global reach and increased the general public’s understanding of how it works—in turn accelerating global accessibility and usage among us all.
Ultimately, the success of the Internet depends on the people behind it, and these inductees personify the pioneering spirit of the ‘Innovators’ and ‘Global Connectors’ that have been so instrumental in bringing us this unprecedented technology. They are some of the earliest Internet evangelists and their work has been the foundation for so Continue reading
Hyperconvergence’s Missing Piece
Hyperconverged systems don't do much when it comes to networking.
Improving BGP Convergence without Tweaking BGP Timers
One of the perks of my online courses is the lifetime access to course Slack team, and you’d amazed by the variety of questions asked there. Not so long ago I got one on BGP timers:
The BGP timers I’m using in my network are 5 and 15 seconds, and I am not sure if it's a good practice to reduce them even more.
You should always ask yourself this set of questions before tweaking a nerd knob:

Today I am going to talk about the Network Access Control- NAC and the vendors of the NAC services providers basically Cisco and Aruba. I will talk Aruba's ClearPass and then I will go with the Cisco NAC solution named as Cisco ISE.
As per the market and the Gartner's Magic Quadrant, Cisco ISE is leading the space followed by Fore scout and Aruba Networks. Before we start with the NAC solution, First question you guys expecting is that what is NAC- Network Access Control.
What is NAC- Network Access Control ?
Network access control (NAC) and is also called network admission control, is a method of
strengthen the security of a proprietary network by restricting the availability of network resources to endpoint devices that comply with a defined security policy.
So as per the NAC, the end devices are being authenticated to access the network. Hope you understand the use of the NAC- Network Access Control. While the computer is being checked by a installed software agent, it can only access resources that can remediate any issues. Once the policy is met, the computer is able to access network resources and the Internet, within the policies defined within the Continue reading

What does the future hold for the Internet?
This is the fundamental question that we are posing through the report just launched today, our 2017 Global Internet Report: Paths to Our Digital Future.
The report is a window into the diverse views and perspectives of a global community that cares deeply about how the Internet will evolve and impact humanity over the next 5-7 years. We couldn’t know what we would find when we embarked on the journey to map what stakeholders believe could shape the future of the Internet, nor can we truly know what will happen to the Internet, but we do now have a sense of what we need to think about today to help shape the Internet of tomorrow. The report reflects the views and aspirations of our community as well as some of the most pressing challenges facing the future of this great innovation.
What have we learned? We’ve learned that our community remains confident that the core Internet values that gave rise to the Internet remain valid. We also heard very strong worries that the user-centric model of the Internet is under extraordinary pressure from governments, from technology giants, and even from the technology itself. There is a sense that there Continue reading
