Fight for net neutrality rules gains momentum
The U.S. Supreme court’s refusal to remove a lower court’s decision to uphold net neutrality rules could help supporters in future legal battles if the policy is re-introduced.
ICANN’s internet DNS security upgrade apparently goes off without a glitch
The KSK rollover involved generating a new cryptographic public and private key pair and distributing the new public component to parties who operate validating resolvers, according to ICANN. Such resolvers run software that converts...
Radical shake-up proposed for the internet
The World Wide Web could return to the retro decentralized 1990s if momentum for a blockchain-like protocol gets into gear.
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.
