Broadband providers are seeing delays of more than a year when ordering internet routers, becoming yet another victim of chip shortages choking global supply chains and adding challenges for millions still working from home.

Despite its critical role in Internet connectivity, the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is still highly vulnerable to different types of attacks. While widespread adoption of Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) — one of the standard ways to improve BGP security — can help, not enough network operators know about it.

One of APNIC’s many information tools is the Dashboard for Autonomous System Health (DASH). DASH lets you rapidly track suspicious traffic seen coming from your network. It uses a system of ‘honeypots‘, which keep tabs on suspicious traffic. When stitched together, honeypots are called a honeynet.

The XGS-PON standard provides a lot more bandwidth than GPON. The industry standard GPON technology delivers 2.4 Gbps download and 1 Gbps upload speed to a group of customers – most often configured at 32 passings.

Over the last 12 months, retail has seen a dramatic acceleration in the pace of change. And for many, this has proved to be a problem. Responding swiftly to rapidly evolving and shifting priorities generated by market conditions, technology advances and customer demand requires an agility that many companies simply do not have within their existing infrastructure.

Local telecommunication entities will, in this respect, be relegated to resellers. The reality of accessing low Earth-orbiting satellite (LEO) services is now clearly on the horizon.

For starters, the essential idea of OpenFlow was to codify what at the time was a hidden, but critical interface in the network software stack: the interface that the network control plane uses to install entries in the FIB that implements the switch data plane.

Once upon a time, everything was so simple. The network card was slow and had only one queue. When packets arrives, the network card copies packets through DMA and sends an interrupt, and the Linux kernel harvests those packets and completes interrupt processing.

Let’s test Tetlock’s thinking by examining the idea in broadband technologies that fiber is the future and that fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) networks are both inevitable and “future-proof.” Fifteen years ago, few experts disagreed with this notion

Over the past several years, Amazon has designed its own silicon chips to speed up the performance of servers in its cloud data centers and the artificial intelligence services it sells to customers. Now, in a big step toward seizing control over a key component in its technologies, Amazon is developing a chip to power the hardware switches that shuttle data around networks, The Information has learned.
