I think it all boils down to how you deploy your stuff. If you think Cloud is so massive that it is never a SPOF, you'll likely not meet your availability aspirations in some time in future. Cloud to me is also shared risk. I read - &q

Yes. But the point is you cannot assume TCP is the only transport protocol that moves data across the public internet.

I agree that with better modulation techniques on DOCSIS protocols, you could achieve higher throughput on the downstream. However, IMO - what should have been the focus for Google Fiber is to come up with applications that consume more ups

You are assuming that TCP with current congestion avoidance algorithm is the only transport medium. When you have bigger pipes allowing you more bits to pack/unpack, you might find the era of newer transport protocols that do specific

1. Customer Service - Provide enterprise solutions for customer service and charge $$$ per transaction. The live nature of this would prove a lot of value for feedback mechanisms for enterprise when they go through their change management.

Him sending an email to the .np cctld has nothing to do with the hack he's talking about. More likely, his plain text email was intercepted 'on the wire' and would have been the same to whichever cctld he would have sent to.

I saw this coming. Nepal has such good natural resources to generate enough electricity for itself and export to its neighbors, yet political deadlocks and bureaucratic hurdles are ruining the potential. http://newsinfo.inquirer.

I think Industry Research is mostly driven by some constraints that applies to their architecture, their business use-cases and how much the company is willing to spend $$$ on research that adds value to their products or services. Academic

More than just an OS, I think what they've built is a Network OS (NOS) on top of Linux. They have been involved in Switch Abstraction Interface(SAI) specifications from Open Compute Networking Projects from early days. I am excited wha

One of the strategy NYCMesh took for where line of sight was not available was to tunnel through the Internet to mesh. This would enable anyone to join the mesh without line of sight requirement, and once more and more people join and the d

With 2 renewals of 3-year H1B work visa, you do not have much time to shop around for employers sponsoring permanent residency. It is a long process in itself , and usually companies want the employee to work for them until they file the pa

Not really. You'd want every routers in the path to reply to see all the hops in between. This would be unreliable though, since the ICMP TTL exceeded message might come in out-of-order to the sender, who is sending these probes(with v

I'd think sending multiple packets (parallelism) with varying TTLs (1,2,3..n) without waiting for responses from each hops to increment the TTL, would probably give us faster traceroute. n being the number of hops you "expect&quot

Hi, We would want to establish a solar cell-phone charging system in Kathmandu and affected areas. If anyone got any ideas of how to proceed (who would donate these, who would transport these), please contact us at wg@nypny.com [ Nepalese Y

You should trace the attackers by tracing back. Work with your upstream providers and mailing lists (NANOG) and publicly shame these attackers. Likely, they are spoofing addresses - validate that and make sure you let the network know where
