What is IPv6, and why aren’t we there yet?
IPv6 has been in the works since 1998 to address the shortfall of IP addresses available under Ipv4, yet despite its efficiency and security advantages, adoption is still slow.
ICANN sets plan to reinforce internet DNS security
ICANN has voted to go ahead with the first-ever changing of the cryptographic key that helps protect the internet’s address book – the Domain Name System (DNS).
DHCP defined and how it works
Dynamic host configuration protocol simplifies and improves the accuracy of IP addressing but can raise security concerns
How to protect your infrastructure from DNS cache poisoning
When your company’s internet access, VoIP and email all depend on DNS, you have to ensure your DNS server is protected against DNS spoofing attacks. One solution: DNSSEC.
Fiber transmission range leaps to 2,500 miles, and capacity increases
If researchers are successful, we can expect fiber data transmissions to get fatter and longer, as well as increases in data throughput.
Why DHCP's days might be numbered
Dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) still assigns dynamic addresses for IPv4 networks, but two newer protocols – SLAAC and DHCPv6 – are vying to do the job for IPv6.
Enterprises should be able to sell their excess internet capacity
If Dove Network's solution succeeds, data users will be able to circumvent traditional ISP data plans and buy capacity as needed from those who want to sell their excess.
An internet for everyone? Not yet
Low earth orbit systems aim to bring the internet everywhere. They’ll need interconnection.
NS1’s Private DNS enables modern applications, DevOps and more
A private version of DNS for use in internal infrastructure is enabling modern applications, DevOps, edge computing, and the shift to IPv6.
Disruption Tolerant Networking could change the internet
Disruption Tolerant Networking, being developed for NASA’s Solar System Internet, guarantees data delivery when traffic is interrupted. It could also be used in remote locations on Earth.

The risks associated with global Internationalized Domain Names | Salted Hash Ep 36
Paul Vixie, CEO of Farsight Security, explains how global Internationalized Domain Names, or global IDNs, sparked the emergence of confusingly similar website addresses with nefarious goals -- and how to combat them.
Qualcomm/Facebook gigabit Wi-Fi field trials to start in 2019
Qualcomm partners with Facebook to build a 60GHz urban Wi-Fi network, which the companies say will be faster to deploy than any fiber or copper solution.
Prepare for the future without net neutrality
With the end of net neutrality, it is important for organizations to prepare for any potential changes in their internet service.
Oracle launches global internet ‘health’ map
Oracle's free internet "health" map allows enterprises to see where bottlenecks are to their public cloud connection and perhaps route traffic around them.
6 years on, IPv4 still dominates IPv6
It’s been six years since the official launch of IPv6 on “World IPv6” day in 2012, but the newest version of the Internet Protocol still doesn’t account for the majority of online traffic, according to the Internet Society.
Internet testing results: why fixing the internet middle mile is essential for SD-WAN performance
Can you trust an SD-WAN to deliver a predictable user experience if the basis of that SD-WAN is the unpredictable public Internet? Based on our testing, the answer is a qualified “yes.”
DNS in the cloud: Why and why not
The upside can be better performance and resiliency with a down side of dire business impact if the DNS service provider suffers a catastrophic outage
The loss of net neutrality: Say goodbye to a free and open internet
The effort to restore net neutrality advanced after the U.S. Senate voted to reinstate the rules. The motion still has a battle ahead of it. If it fails, you can expect these long-lasting problems to surface.
