Building on foundational research on packet switching from the early 1960s, the ARPANET came to life in 1969. The central ideas and first implementations of the Internet followed soon afterwards, although it was another couple of decades before the World Wide Web made the Internet accessible to a broad community of users. Today, the Internet continues to be an amazingly successful distributed system, but the organisation of services is increasingly centralised. From the perspective of many users, the Internet consists of a handful of massive, logically centralised services such as Google, Netflix, and the major social networks. This is a source of concern for those of us who have worked on Internet technology since the early days, because decentralisation was a core tenet of the Internet’s design philosophy.https://peertube.roundpond.net/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8d6fa298-ce7f-4671-8499-ff51327aacb4/4a73f455-818f-4106-8aff-5cda888fd132-master.m3u8https://peertube.roundpond.net/videos/embed/isYGkZHuKpRYXNX67Ucyd525360302025-02-10T02:11:40.394ZYESSystems ApproachNOhttps://peertube.roundpond.net/w/6vAGkQBZpG7zaoeyfwg9NMhttps://peertube.roundpond.net/lazy-static/thumbnails/1254cda0-ed44-4808-9ca2-4a59f2b6257d.jpgLLM-pitchTalk prepared for the Networking Channel session on LLMs (large language models) in networking education. I point to the challenge of the "symbol grounding problem", which is about mapping from symbols (language) to real objects (e.g. network protocols).

It represents the architectural element that connects things together. In my career, I have also acted as the "bridge" between communities (industry and academia, for example) and worked to forge connections between different technology areas—both multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) and software-defined networking (SDN) followed this pattern. I will discuss some of the major technological developments that I have been involved in and the factors that, in my view, enabled these technologies to have an impact. An important factor is the ability to communicate ideas to a range of different target audiences. My focus on communication also led to my early decision to write textbooks, and I will discuss the evolution of the Systems Approach series as we have sought to increase our impact on our readers.https://peertube.roundpond.net/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ad246897-e667-4be0-bc63-30470e8999d2/c8da628a-b526-4f85-9ec9-d5219ab1c367-master.m3u8https://peertube.roundpond.net/videos/embed/no4sPs4xUxgGwMQvwMJrim42040392025-12-01T23:11:25.636ZYESSystems ApproachNOhttps://peertube.roundpond.net/c/systems_approach/videoshttps://peertube.roundpond.net/a/drbruced/video-channels
