This study—the first-ever to assess internet infrastructure and model current/projected traffic patterns independent of one another—indicates that Internet access infrastructure, specifically in North America, will cease to be adequate for supporting demand within the next three to five years.

  BBC NEWS | Technology | Wi-fi security system is 'broken' 

  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7052223.stm

  More holes have been picked in the security measure designed to protect the privacy and data of wi-fi users. The latest attack lets criminals defeat firewalls and spy on where someone goes and what they ... do online. It comes after a series of other attacks that, experts say, have left the basic protection in wi-fi comprehensively "broken". But compatibility issues mean that many will have no alternative but to use the much weakened protection system. Lock picking The basic security measure in the technical specification for wireless networks, 802.11, is known as Wired Equivalent Privacy. WEP encrypts data flying back and forth between a computer and an access point to stop people spotting and stealing confidential information. It does this using an encryption key but numerous attacks have shown how easy it is to get hold of this key and unlock access to the wi-fi network or your data. "WEP as a security measure is so broken that your (and everyone else's) kid sister can easily circumvent   [More...] [Less...]

This tool is useful for finding out if your port forwarding ... is setup correctly or if your server applications are being blocked by a firewall. It is important to note that some ports, such as port 25, are often blocked at the ISP level in an attempt to prevent malicious activity.

  Microsoft Technet: Troubleshooting Network Configuration in ISA Server 2004 

  http://www.microsoft.com/technet/isa/2004/plan/ts_networks.mspx#Multiple

  Introduction Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2004 introduces a multi-networking model that allows you to control traffic between internal and external networks, and within your ... organization by means of firewall policy rules. You define network objects in ISA Server Management, and configure relationships to specify whether traffic should be routed between them, or have network address translation (NAT) applied. Networks objects you define are used as source and destination elements in access rules you configure to specify what traffic is allowed or denied between networks in your infrastructure. The general process can be summarized as follows: Create network objects, or modify ISA Server predefined network objects. Network objects you can define include networks (a range of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses), network sets (set of networks), computers, computer sets, address ranges (set of contiguous IP addresses), subnets, Uniform Resource Locator (URL) sets,   [More...] [Less...]

  F5 preps Big-IP for carriers - Network World 

  http://www.networkworld.com/news/2007/092507-f5-big-ip-carriers.html

  By adding support for SIP , RTP and SCTP to the Big-IP LTM software, F5’s gear fits into the IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) standards that carriers are adopting more and more as a general architecture ... for their networks. IMS calls for making carrier infrastructure modular, with the parts and the interfaces between the parts standard. So in theory a particular category of equipment that meets these standards can fit into any network that adheres to IMS. SIP, RTP and SCTP are all important protocols to service providers as they migrate to IP networks. SIP is an IP application-layer signaling protocol. RTP is the protocol used to format real-time applications, such as voice and video. SCTP is a signaling-transport protocol. F5 says service providers can use Big-IP in their networks in ways that are similar to how enterprises use the devices in corporate networks. For example, they could load balance devices, such as soft switches and session border controllers -- devices that help sort   [More...] [Less...]

  Japan building new internet 

  http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/123015/japan-building-new-internet.html

  Japan is developing a new generation of network architecture to replace the internet, according to the country's Communications minister, Yoshihide Suga. Mr Suga's department is currently seeking a 7.8 ... billion yen commitment in the next budget to begin researching the technology, which it hopes to rollout commercially in 2020. Alongside the vast sums of money, the Japanese government will also be looking to form partnerships with leading businesses and academic institutions to promote the technology. The Japanese minister, speaking to reporters in Brazil, said that the research was a response to the challenges likely to be faced by the internet in the next century, including a need for higher bandwidth, stronger security and a more stable network. The new network will place Japan at the forefront of internet development, a position Mr Suga believes will only enhance Japanese competitiveness in global markets. The country already has a standing "e-Japan" policy which aims to create   [More...] [Less...]
