Interview with Juniper Networks Ambassador Dan Hearty

History Of Networking – ILNP and IP Mobility – Saleem Bhatti
Using a single IP address to provide both identity and location information can create challenges and inefficiencies in network design. In this History of Networking episode, we sit down with Saleem Bhatti to talk about the history of ILNP and IP mobility to see how this tech aims to resolve this challenge.

Risking It All
When’s the last time you thought about risk? It’s something we have to deal with every day but hardly ever try to quantify unless we work in finance or a high-stakes job. When it comes to IT work, we take risks all the time. Some are little, like deleting files or emails thinking we won’t need them again. Or maybe they’re bigger risks, like deploying software to production or making a change that could take a site down. But risk is a part of our lives. Even when we can’t see it.
Mitigation Revelations
Mitigating risk is the most common thing we have to do when we analyze situations where risk is involved. Think about all the times you’ve had to create a backout plan for a change that you’re checking in. Even having a maintenance window is a form of risk mitigation. I was once involved in a cutover for a metro fiber deployment that had to happen between midnight and 2 am. When I asked why, the tech said, “Well, we don’t usually have any problems, but sometimes there’s a hiccup that takes the whole network down until we fix it. This way, there isn’t as much traffic Continue reading
International Approach to Internet Policy Declining, Some Experts Say
A long-time multistakeholder and international approach toward creating Internet policy is breaking down, with individual nations and some large companies increasingly deciding to go their own way and create their own rules, some Internet governance experts say.
The multistakeholder decision-making model that created the Internet’s policy standards over the last two decades has largely fallen apart, with countries pushing their own agendas related to privacy, censorship, encryption, Internet shutdowns and other issues, some of the experts said Tuesday at the State of the Net tech policy conference in Washington, D.C.
Recent efforts to keep the Internet safe for free expression and free enterprise are “mission impossible,” said Steve DelBianco, president and CEO of Internet-focused trade group NetChoice.
Back in the early 2000s, the Internet was enabling the disruption of governments and powerful businesses by providing users ways to work around those organizations, DelBianco added. “Fifteen years later, I’d have to say that governments and big businesses have regained their footing and are reasserting control,” he said.
Many nations are looking for new ways to control Internet content and users, added Laura DeNardis, a communications professor at American University and a scholar focused on Internet architecture and governance.

Veritas: shared verifiable databases and tables in the cloud
Veritas: shared verifiable databases and tables in the cloud Allen et al., CIDR’19
Two (or more) parties want to transact based on the sharing of information (e.g. current offers). In order to have trust in the system and provide a foundation for resolving disputes, we’d like a tamperproof and immutable audit log of all shared data and actions, such that an independent auditor can reconstruct the state of the system at any point in time.
Enter the blockchain?! Not so fast say Allen et al., blockchain technology as we know it today is ‘one step forward, two steps back’ ;).
Today, for gaining immutability and auditability with new blockchain platforms, we give up decades of research in data management— and hardened, enterprise-ready code that implements these ideas.
We’d still like to be able to use SQL for example. We want transaction throughput much closer to a traditional database, and we want to take advantage of query optimisation and sophisticated query processing engines. We could try adding database like features to blockchain systems, but that looks to be a long road:
There are now a gazillion start-ups that are adding these basic database features to blockchains, Continue reading
