A Look at the Landscape after Nvidia Acquires Cumulus Networks
For the second time this year, there is news of an acquisition that impacts open networking and the broader SDN...Was DHCP the first Intent Networking feature ?

Internet Society-Chatham House Collaboration: How Is Consolidation Changing the Internet?
For the past couple of years, here, at the Internet Society, we have been thinking about Internet consolidation. After releasing the 2019 Global Internet Report: Consolidation in the Internet Economy, we understood our limitations and the complexity of the issue. To this end, we decided to partner with Chatham House and reach out to the community of researchers and academics, seeking their input to learn more. This resulted in a long process to create a special issue of the Journal of Cyber Policy, including more than 40 proposals for articles, various peer-review cycles and many edits from the authors.
The selection process was tough. We had to weigh in a broad range of ideas and perspectives, which touched virtually all aspects of the Internet economy. And while hard choices had to be made, we are also confident we made the right ones. The level of quality, creativity, and interest that is incorporated in each and every research paper is truly outstanding. For this we are also grateful for the amazing support we have received from our community in spreading the word, for submitting proposals, and to the broad range of experts who have participated in the review of Continue reading
Example: Deploy a Web Server in AWS
The third hands-on exercise in our Networking in Public Cloud Deployments online course asks the students to deploy a web server in a public cloud of their choice using infrastructure-as-code principles.
Not surprisingly, Erik Auerswald created another fantastic writeup when solving that exercise, including exploring the problem space, detailed description of his Terraform-based solution, and testing procedures. Enjoy!

You Can Do It! Learn How to Extend the Internet to Your Community
Every day, people around the world are caring for their neighbors by bringing them online. A lifeline for so many, the global COVID-19 has shown us that the Internet is now more important than ever. Yet nearly half the world’s population still has no access.
Driven by the desire to connect their communities in any way they can, people around the world are getting involved and building networks in new and innovative ways that complement traditional Internet/telecommunication access solutions. Do-it-yourself solutions built by the community, for the community.
Anyone can help build the Internet.
Not sure where to start? There’s a whole community of people out there who can help you get started. Together you’ll be able to learn how to build a network to serve your community (you CAN do it!), help talk to your government about sound policies to connect your community, or share new ideas. Maybe you’ll be able to create a new solution to connect people to the open Internet.
Your expertise counts. Everyone can get involved and learn from one another.
Need more inspiration? Here’s a story from Lillian Achom. Lillian started out with nerves and self-doubt about what she could contribute, but over Continue reading

I always enjoy an opportunity to talk about the ins and outs of what it’s like to do networking in industries that don’t follow the typical enterprise models. In today’s episode we’re doing just that. Brian Martin, from the Twitch network engineering team, is joining us to talk about what it’s like to run a network where the primary product is real-time streaming video. If you, like me, are interested in hearing what it takes to make a service like Twitch run, this episode is for you.
