NB-IoT is live in eight European markets and in the U.S.
SD-WAN allows for segment isolation and the ability to add branches with ease.
FlexWare is available in more than 200 countries.
The flexibility of cloud infrastructure has had a significant impact on the way that organizations build out their infrastructure, but the industry is continuing to learn just how complicated connecting to cloud resources can be. In this episode of Network Collective we take a look at the challenges around cloud connectivity and talk about some ways to do it well.

A while back I posted on section 10 routing loops; Daniel responded to the post with this comment:
I am curious how these things are discovered. You said that this is a contrived example, but I assume researchers have some sort of methodology to discover issues like this. I am sure some things have been found through operational mishap, but is there some “standardized” way of testing graph logic for the possibility of loops? I trust this is much easier to do today than even a decade ago.
You would think there would be some organized way to discover these kinds of routing loops, something every researcher and/or protocol designer might follow. The reality is far different—there is no systematic way that I know of to find this sort of problem. What happens, in real life, is that people with a lot of experience at the intersection of protocol design, the bounds of different ways of finding loop free paths (solving the loop free path problem), and a lot of experience in deploying and operating a network using these protocols, will figure these things out because they know enough about the solution space to look for them in the first Continue reading

In remembrance of Internet Pioneer, founder and Chair of RIPE for 25 years, Postel Award recipient, and friend, Rob Blokzijl the RIPE NCC set up the “Rob Blokzijl Foundation”. The foundation recognises those who made substantial and sustained technical and operational contributions to the development of the Internet in the RIPE NCC service region, or supported or enabled others with the development of the Internet in the RIPE NCC service region.
The Rob Blokzijl Award will be awarded for the first time during RIPE 76 in May 2018. This is a Good Thing on so many levels.
The call for nominations is now open. The deadline is 16 March 2018 23:59 UTC.

The startup spun out of the U.S. National Security Agency.
Not all systems require full patching for the flaws right now, anyway, experts say.
Despite IPv6, the transfer market for IPv4 addresses is thriving. An Interop ITX expert explains.
J Metz published a great article describing six hard truths not taught in school. As all good things should come in 7-tuples, here’s another one I was told ages ago when I was a young hotshot full of myself:
Professions were created for a reason – they enable people to do the work they’re qualified to do.
Needless to say, it took me decades to fully understand its implications.

As we’ve discussed in a previous blog post, it can be difficult to determine whether or not a vendor is truly as open as they claim to be. Sure, your network provider says they support open solutions, but the reality is they take advantage of open networking’s flexible definition to market not-so-flexible networks. How can you be certain that you’re investing in the open network your data center deserves?
Never fear, Gartner is here! Their report on gauging vendors’ openness provides you with five easy questions to help you take a machete to the forest of false advertisement. So, how does Cumulus Networks stack up to these requirements, and how have we maintained our dedication to open networking? Let’s take a look at Gartner’s criteria — we think you’ll find that this open model fits Cumulus like a glove.
We’ve broken down the qualifications for a simple solution into three parts. First of all, managing your network should be easy from the moment it comes online. Cumulus Linux is an operating system that ensures a simple start. A few features that guarantee a confusion-free beginning include:
It supports cloud storage at AWS, Microsoft, and Google, as well as object and file storage.
