A month ago I told you how dr. Olivier Bonaventure starts his networking course with IPv6. But there’s more: the full textbook for the undergraduate course (Computer Networking: Principles, Protocols and Practice) is open-sourced and available (in source form) on GitHub.
You might wonder why I’m so enthusiastic, so let me tell you another story…

The Internet Society’s story has been 25 years in the making.
The foundation for a global community of people dedicated to bringing the Internet to everyone started in 1992. We have come a long way since then, and today our mission has never been more important or challenging.
This milestone year presents a unique opportunity for us all to reflect on our rich heritage, and to consider how we can impact the Internet for the next 25 years. Our community has a critical role in guiding the decisions that must now be taken for the future Internet in today’s rapidly changing world.
Network Automation is so hot right now! Joking aside, DevOps tools like Ansible, Puppet, Chef and Salt as well as proprietary tools like Apstra are becoming all the rage in computer networks everywhere. There are python courses, network automation classes and even automation focused events for the first time in the history of computer networks (or at least it feels like it).
For this blog post I want to focus on automating network troubleshooting, the forgotten stepchild of network automation tasks. I think most automation tools focus on provisioning (or first time configuring) because so many network engineers are new to network automation in general. While I think that is great (and I want to encourage everyone to automate!) I think there is so much more potential for network automation. I am introducing Sean’s third category of automation use-cases — OPS!
I want to combine Cumulus NetQ, a fabric validation system, with Ansible to:
Because I think looking at terminal windows is super boring (no Continue reading

This post summarizes how prevalent encrypted web traffic interception is and how it negatively affects online security according to a study published at NDSS 2017 authored by several researchers including the author of this post and Nick Sullivan of Cloudflare. We found that between 4% and 10% of the web’s encrypted traffic (HTTPS) is intercepted. Analyzing these intercepted connections further reveals that, while not always malicious, interception products most often weaken the encryption used to secure communication and puts users at risk.
This blog post presents a short summary of our study’s key findings by answering the following questions:
At well over $150,000 per appliance, the Volta GPU based DGX appliances from Nvidia, which take aim at deep learning with framework integration and 8 Volta-accelerated nodes linked with NVlink, is set to appeal to the most bleeding edge of machine learning shops.
Nvidia has built its own clusters by stringing several of these together, just as researchers at Tokyo Tech have done with the Pascal generation systems. But one of the first commercial customers for the Volta based boxes is the Center for Clinical Data Science, which is part of the first wave of hospitals set to …
