Seriously... both creativity and career options grow exponentially as a
function of how many smart people you've worked with. Apply broadly, apply
frequently... and pick an intership based on who you'll get to work with as
opposed to what you'll get to work on.
In addition to the three that Tom mentioned there are other labs doing stuff
concerning networking including: Lucent/Bell-Labs, Compaq Labs (WRL in
particular), IBM, MSR. There are also many companies that offer intership
positions, some even in the area (e.g. Real, Teledesic, F5).

It is the season to think about what you're going to do for the summer.
If you are interested in networking-related internships, three of the
best possibilities are:
ACIRI (contact: vern@aciri.org)
SprintLabs (contact: cdiot@sprintlabs.com)
AT&T Labs (contact: ramon caceres)
ACIRI has the best overall research reputation, but the other two
since they are national-scale ISP's, have the possibility to define
a measurement-based project, where you can get access to packet level
traces to answer a number of issues in network engineering. There are
good people to work with at all three.
Stefan will chime in that you should do as many internships as
your advisor will let you -- and I'll agree with that! Come talk with
me and/or David if you are interested.

Tom,
We will be deciding on our summer interns by the end of the first week of
February. Do you have any really great students? Topics for the summer
include multicast, Sprintlink monitoring (we should have first data in the
next few weeks), QoS issues, congestion issues, service platforms, etc.
Christophe Diot is the primary point of contact.
