yesterday I've heard about https://www.lernsoftware-filius.de for the first time, and I really want to set up something for people interested in networking.
This seems like such a neat concept to learn networking basics (and some advanced things too!)
Might be interesting for some people here, too!
There's also an English introduction to the software on the homepage, so no need to learn German

Networking should be open. 🌐
We’re building AsterNOS-VPP to prove that you don’t need proprietary "black box" hardware to get line-rate routing performance. By combining #EnterpriseSONiC with #VPP (Vector Packet Processing), we're moving packet handling out of the slow kernel and into the fast lane.

🚀 High throughput
🔓 No vendor lock-in
🛠️ Runs on x86/ARM/Whitebox

Check out the architecture:
