	Description:		Take a Network Break! In today’s episode we check in on funding for enterprise-focused startups and wonder just how many SD-WAN companies the market can support (not as many as there are right now). On the chip front, we delve into the competitive repercussions of a Mellanox acquisition. Meanwhile, Cisco’s former CEO scolds American for lacking a digital strategy; or in other other words: “Money please!” Cisco also buys a UK security firm to boost its consulting arm. We gape at the audacity of a maker of ad-blocking software as it creates a board to determine which ads it won’t block. And while Google and Microsoft call a ceasefire over a 5-year patent battle, Amazon decides to pick a fight by booting streaming devices from Google and Apple from its online store. You can find links below to all the stories we covered. Thanks for listening, and please leave a comment below to let us know what we got wrong.
