Profile
Within the Content Type facet, Profile intelligence gathers BTW.MEDIA articles that share the same editorial format, helping readers compare briefings, profiles, risk notes, market analysis, and event coverage without mixing different kinds of evidence. The page explains how this content type frames internet infrastructure events, company movements, governance decisions, operational signals, and public evidence across the site. Readers can compare which actors or infrastructure systems appear most often, how source quality changes interpretation, and whether the material is a durable profile, a time-sensitive event, a strategic market signal, or a governance development. The result is a useful search page for operators, investors, customers, analysts, and policy stakeholders who need to understand the consequence, timing, and evidence behind similar article formats.

LibreNMS and the operating cost of seeing the network clearly
LibreNMS gives operators a transparent, self-hosted way to discover devices, poll counters, build inventory and turn network state into alerts. Its credibility does not come from a promise that open source is automatically safer or cheaper. It comes from an operating bargain: the…

David S. Miller and the public process behind Linux networking
A networking patch can start as a few lines of code and end up affecting servers, routers, phones, cloud hosts and appliances around the world. David S. Miller has spent decades close to the point where those changes become shared Linux infrastructure, first through the SPARC…

Akvorado turns sampled flows into a network’s working memory
Akvorado gives network operators a self-hosted way to retain, enrich and examine flow records across long periods. Its usefulness comes from making the path from router export to operational decision visible; its central limit is that every graph still inherits the sampling…

Ivan Pepelnjak and the discipline of testing network automation
Ivan Pepelnjak’s career runs from Slovenia’s early internet and exchange infrastructure to ipSpace.net and the open-source netlab project. His recurring argument is practical: automation becomes trustworthy only when intended state is modelled explicitly, vendor claims are…

Cricket Liu and the long work of making DNS operable
Cricket Liu’s career follows the Domain Name System from a specialist service run by a small group of operators to an enterprise control plane and, increasingly, a security sensor. His importance lies less in inventing protocols than in explaining how names, addresses, leases and…

Colin Perkins: How Real-Time Media Learned to Share the Internet
Colin Perkins did not invent RTP, WebRTC or Internet congestion control. His more defensible contribution is also more revealing: over three decades, he helped develop the repair, feedback, signalling, safety and governance mechanisms that allow voice and video to remain useful…

Kentik and the data engine that turns network flows into evidence
Kentik’s network-intelligence platform depends on a proprietary analytical engine designed to retain large volumes of telemetry, add routing and business context, and return historical answers quickly enough to guide operations. Kentik Data Engine gives network teams a searchable…

Equinix unveils Fabric One for managed multicloud networking
Fabric One will let customers specify connectivity requirements while Equinix manages routing, cloud links, encryption and failover.

Artem Izbaenkov and the Cost of Representation at RIPE NCC
Artem Izbaenkov’s 2024 campaign for a seat on the RIPE NCC Executive Board turned an operator’s career in DDoS defence and cloud security into a wider argument about who can participate effectively in registry governance—and what language, fees and institutional attention have to…

Stefan Savage and the measurement of cybercrime as a system
Stefan Savage’s research repeatedly replaced stories about attacks with measurements of traffic, supply chains, incentives and failure paths. From denial-of-service and worms to spam, payment networks, cloud infrastructure and connected vehicles, the recurring method is to…

OIF and the work of making 1.6-terabit links agree
The Optical Internetworking Forum sits between formal standards and commercial products, turning optical, electrical and management choices into implementation agreements that vendors can build and operators can test. Its influence is clearest when several layers have to work…

Albert Greenberg and the network as a distributed computer
Across AT&T, Microsoft Azure and Uber, Albert Greenberg has worked on a recurring problem: how to make a large network behave like one coherent system when topology, traffic, control software, hardware and failure all change at different speeds. His influence is best understood…

Prawijaya Prawijaya and the Human Name Inside a Network Record
Prawijaya Prawijaya and the Human Name Inside a Network Record intelligence summary explains the development, the public evidence available to readers, the organisations involved, the regional context, market exposure, and the infrastructure consequences that may follow. The…

ARTEMIS and the minute between a BGP warning and a safe response
ARTEMIS pairs public BGP observations with an operator’s own routing intent so suspicious announcements can be classified and answered quickly. The project’s record also exposes the harder problem: when visibility is partial and a counter-announcement can cause harm, speed is…

Jakub Kicinski: How Linux Turns Networking Features into Sustainable Infrastructure
A new network card may arrive with an impressive capability and a pressing commercial deadline. Linux must ask a slower question: can that capability be expressed in a form other devices can understand, operators can observe, tests can reproduce and maintainers can support years…

Velo Technologies expands its infrastructure business from Cyberjaya
The Malaysian private company spans data-centre capacity, cloud, managed security, networks and IT outsourcing. Its partnerships are increasingly visible, but its ownership names, absolute financial scale and the economics behind some of its infrastructure commitments remain…

Aaron Wendel and What Two Failed ARIN Proposals Reveal About Operator Power
Fourteen years apart, two public tallies put Aaron Wendel on the losing side of consequential debates about Internet number resources. The defeats are more revealing than a conventional success story: they show how practical operating knowledge enters policy, how commercial…

linuxptp and the control loop behind precision time
linuxptp turns a Linux host, hardware clock and network timing source into a precision-time system. Its daemons coordinate IEEE 1588 state, packet timestamps, servos and system clocks, but software alone cannot manufacture accuracy: the result still depends on NICs, oscillators…

Laurent Vanbever and the network that must be tested while it changes
Laurent Vanbever’s work treats network configuration as executable software whose failures can emerge before, during or after deployment. From safe routing migrations and configuration synthesis to runtime BGP detection and energy-aware operations, his research at ETH Zurich asks…

Katerina Argyraki and the search for proof in packet forwarding
Katerina Argyraki’s research follows a problem that becomes harder as networks become more programmable: a packet-processing system may be fast and flexible, yet operators and users often have little evidence that it behaved correctly. Her work at EPFL connects software-router…
