View Now Why TCP/IP is on the way out If there’s one protocol that networkers are saturated with on a daily, if not minute-by-minute basis, it’s TCP/IP. Well guess what? The now-aging TCP/IP might not be around for much longer. Researchers at Aalborg University in Denmark, in association with MIT and Caltech, reckon that the Internet can be made faster, and more secure, by abandoning the whole concept of packets and error correction. Error correction slows down traffic because the chunks of data, in many cases, have to be sent more than once. The researchers are using a mathematical equation instead. The formula figures out which parts of the data didn't make the hop. They say it works in lieu of the packet-resend.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More WHITE PAPER: HP Why you need a next-generation firewall This white paper explores the reasons for implementing NG firewalls and lays out a path to success for overburdened IT organizations. Learn More Cisco ready to ship ACI controller Cisco this week announced it will soon ship its Application Centric Infrastructure controller and rolled out other extensions across its data center portfolio. Cisco’s Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) will ship this week as an appliance based on Cisco’s Unified Computing System (UCS) x86-based server. Cisco is considering offering it on other non-Cisco x86 platforms as well, says Thomas Scheibe, director of product management for Cisco’s Insieme business unit.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More WHITE PAPER: Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) An Evolution in Enterprise Cloud Security Private cloud techniques extend the protection of corporate governance and policies to the elasticity of a cloud platform— but that doesn't automatically make it secure. Just because you adopted a cloud environment does not make you immune to targeted Cyber attacks. Learn more A breakdown of Cisco ACI pricing Cisco this week released list pricing for several components of its Application Centric Infrastructure fabric, including several Nexus 9000 series switches and ACI software licenses for leaf switches. Cisco is pricing ACI software as a single perpetual license per leaf to “keep it simple and predictable,” says Director of Product Management Thomas Scheibe.“We don’t want to go down the path of per VM or monthly licensing,” he said, in a poke at rival VMware’s NSX network virtualization platform.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More What you should know about SDN and Wi-Fi This vendor-written tech primer has been edited by Network World to eliminate product promotion, but readers should note it will likely favor the submitter’s approach.Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is coming to Wi-Fi to give IT end-to-end control of the unified (wired and wireless) network. SDN will deliver numerous additional benefits, ranging from cost saving to increased productivity. Here are three of the most important things you should know about SDN-enabled Wi-Fi:1: Key benefits. One of the immediate advantages of SDN is it simplifies networks. Consolidating around a central control structure allows for greater automation. This makes rolling out new services faster. Another benefit of SDN is simpler provisioning over multi-vendor networks.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More The copper telephone line over time My daughter, Emma, soon to be 13, is in the office with me today and I had some fun sharing with her a couple of facts from this Alcatel-Lucent infographic about the history of the copper telephone line. Two examples: In 1918 it took an average of 15 minutes just to set up a call and it wasn’t until 1940 that telephone numbers allowed for direct customer dialing.I’m glad she didn’t ask if I remembered these milestones.
