The A10 and Cisco teams answer advanced security questions following their presentation on the Thunder ADC and Cisco ACI.

CoPP – Control Plane Protection or better Control Plain Policing is the only option to make some sort of flood protection or QoS for traffic going to control plane. In the router normal operation the most important traffic is control plain traffic. Control plane traffic is traffic originated on router itself by protocol services running on it and destined to other router device on the network. In order to run properly, routers need to speak with each other. They speak with each other by rules defined in protocols and protocols are run in shape of router services. Examples for this
There are a lot of “how-to” on the Internet explaining the setup procedure. This is mainly a copy / paste example for those in a hurry :)

It's like microsegmentation, only more 'macro.'
The previous tutorial shown GRE tunnel configuration between Cisco router and Linux Core. The big advantage of GRE protocol is that it encapsulates L3 and higher protocols inside the GRE tunnel so routing updates and other multicast traffic can be successfully transferred over the tunnel. The main drawback of GRE protocol is the lack of built-in security. Data are transferred in plain-text over the tunnel and peers are not authenticated (no confidentiality). Tunneled traffic can be changed by attacker (no integrity checking of IP packets). For this reason GRE tunnel is very often used in conjunction with IPSec. Typically, GRE tunnel is encapsulated inside the IPSec tunnel and this model is called GRE over IPSec.
The tutorial shows configuration of OSPF routing protocol, GRE and IPSec tunnel on Cisco 7206 VXR router and appliance running VyOS network OS. Devices are running inside GNS3 lab an they are emulated by Dynamips (Cisco) and Qemu (VyOS).

Note: VyOS installation is described here. You can easily build your own VyOS Qemu appliance using the Expect and Bash script shared in the article.

Illumio's ASP aims to cover all environments — which of course must include Docker containers.
these rules prohibit one group of companies (ISPs) from charging another group of companies (content companies) the full cost for using their servicesUh, no, that's how Democrats frame the debate. ISPs charging content providers is actually a very bad thing. That we Republicans oppose NetNeutrality is not based on the belief that "charging content companies" is a good thing.

I recently started studying again, this time as an attempt of deep-diving into some security concepts for one of my PhD courses. It’s interesting how, as much as you try to escape from it, mathematics will sooner or later catch you somewhere and you will need to learn a bit more of it. At least that happened to me… In this process I realised that if you go beyond simple security theory and network device configuration all other stuff is pure mathematics. The reason behind my unplanned course in mathematics is explained through the rest of this text. It will
