The Week in Internet News: Coronavirus Shutdowns Expose Digital Divide
No Internet, no school: School closings in the U.S. in response to the coronavirus pandemic are exposing the continuing digital divide in the country, U.S. News and World Report says. The Federal Communications Commission should step in to help poor students get access, Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel told a Senate committee recently.
Testing the Internet’s capacity: Meanwhile, there are some worries that millions of people potentially working from home in the coming weeks could literally “break the Internet,” Slate reports. Corporate VPNs, stock trading sites, and video gaming services could be among the services impacted by people working from home.
Bad news in the U.K.: In Britain, broadband networks aren’t ready for millions of people working from home, ABC14News.com reports. Many home-based Internet services in the U.K. still use old copper-based networks, and Internet users should expect congestion.
The downside of working from home: One Washington Post writer worked from home for eight days and ran into several difficulties, including Internet outages. “Video conferencing fails 50 percent of the time. The online tools I’m using — Slack, Microsoft Office, Dropbox — treat work as paramount, so it never really goes away.”

Announcing Network Analytics
Our Analytics Platform
Back in March 2019, we released Firewall Analytics which provides insights into HTTP security events across all of Cloudflare's protection suite; Firewall rule matches, HTTP DDoS Attacks, Site Security Level which harnesses Cloudflare's threat intelligence, and more. It helps customers tailor their security configurations more effectively. The initial release was for Enterprise customers, however we believe that everyone should have access to powerful tools, not just large enterprises, and so in December 2019 we extended those same enterprise-level analytics to our Business and Pro customers.
Since then, we’ve built on top of our analytics platform; improved the usability, added more functionality and extended it to additional Cloudflare services in the form of Account Analytics, DNS Analytics, Load Balancing Analytics, Monitoring Analytics and more.
Our entire analytics platform harnesses the powerful GraphQL framework which is also available to customers that want to build, export and share their own custom reports and dashboards.
Extending Visibility From L7 To L3
Until recently, all of our dashboards were mostly HTTP-oriented and provided visibility into HTTP attributes such as the user agent, hosts, cached resources, etc. This is valuable to customers that use Cloudflare to protect and accelerate HTTP Continue reading
vlog. Episode 8. History and future of the networking.
Hello my friend,
Today I have a unique opportunity to talk to one of the most well-known authors in the networking industry. Especially if you ever studied for CCIE (link). This is a legendary person, which put his hands on the implementation of many technologies in the service providers, data centres and enterprises.
In this episode, together with Jeff Doyle (yes, this particular Jeff Doyle) we discuss his experience as an author of the networking books, and as a network engineer and architect. We discuss the major steps in the telecommunication’s development over a couple of past decades and what we should expect.
On top of that, Jeff shares his opinion on the skills necessary for the network engineers now and in the future.

CEX (Code EXpress) 07. Loops are bad in the networks, but not in code.
Hello my friend,
We have covered all the necessary types of the Python’s variables (ordinary, lists and dictionaries) and now we can move on with further concepts. And the first immediate pit stop is the question “how can we work with the Python’s lists and dictionaries efficiently?” The answer wold be “just loop them”!
