2019 has been a very good year for the Internet in Latin America and the Caribbean. In May, during the 31st meeting of LACNIC, several operators pledged to take steps to make routing security, and the Internet itself, stronger. They joined the MANRS initiative, which includes four simple and concrete steps to improve the Internet’s security and reliability. In August, NIC Mexico convened the second meeting of network operators in the country, during which routing security stood out as one of the main issues on the agenda.
The Internet Society also made progress on collaboration with National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) and higher education institutions. During the TICAL 2019 meeting, we offered a workshop on MANRS in collaboration with RedClara, LACNIC, the University of Guadalajara, ANUIES, and the Autonomous University of Yucatán. This workshop was part of a series of virtual sessions started in April, which ended on October 2 during the ANUIES-TIC meeting with a long-term practical workshop.
As we head to the final stretch of the year, the 32nd meeting of LACNIC will be a new opportunity to work with network operators to improve the security of the Internet. From Panama we will advise anyone interested in Continue reading
Come see VMware and the NSX team at SpringOne Platform in Austin, TX from October 7-11 in booth T1!
SpringOne Platform is Pivotal’s annual conference for developers, IT operators and leaders, platform managers, and anyone else that wants to be part of one of the most vibrant software development communities in the world. Developers use Spring to build and run millions of mission-critical applications that organizations rely on every day. It enables developers to build software quickly, securely, and globally with modern distributed platform technologies like Kubernetes and Pivotal Application Service (PAS).
But this is a blog about networking, right? So why are we so excited to talk about SpringOne Platform, and why are we asking you to come have a chat with us? The answer gets at the heart of how VMware and Pivotal are enabling customers to realize the value of cloud-native apps and DevOps practices.
VMware’s NSX family of products gives developers and operators a continuous cloud networking fabric, built in software, that not only exists in the data center but also extends to public clouds and to the edge. Using a software-defined Continue reading
On today's Heavy Networking podcast, Greg and Ethan engage in a thought experiment: Will 5G and private LTE allow enterprises to get rid of their own wireless networks and shift much of that responsibility on telcos and just let them do it? They explore this idea from the telco and enterprise perspectives.

We’ve talked in previous posts on how we can use LDP and RSVP as label distribution protocols. Without LDP and RSVP – we wouldn’t be able to easily create LSPs which means we’d have to do it manually as we did in my first post on MPLS. That being said – the discussion around MPLS label distribution usually focuses around these two protocols, but you might (or might not depending on how long you’ve been in networking) be surprised to learn that we can also use BGP to advertise labels. That is – we can build end to end LSPs without the use of LDP or RSVP. Using BGP for label distribution comes with it’s own set of requirements (and associated oddities) so in this post we’ll talk through the use case.
Advertising labels through BGP is something that we’ve seen before. Specifically, we saw it in the MPLS VPN use case where PE routers advertise a VPN label so that the remote PE knows what VRF/VPN the traffic belongs in. In that use case, we did a BGP peering with the inet-vpn address family. To do BGP labeled unicast (commonly called BGP-LU) we do a BGP peering with the Continue reading

A while ago Johannes Weber tweeted about an interesting challenge:
We want to advertise our AS and PI space over a single ISP connection. How would a setup look like with 2 Cisco routers, using them for hardware redundancy? Is this possible with only 1 neighboring to the ISP?
Hmm, so you have one cable and two router ports that you want to connect to that cable. There’s something wrong with this picture ;)

This is an investigation into the phenomenon of lateral phishing attacks. A lateral phishing attack is one where a compromised account within an organisation is used to send out further phishing emails (typically to other employees within the same organisation). So ‘alice at example.com’ might receive a phishing email that has genuinely been sent by ‘bob at example.com’, and thus is more likely to trust it.
In recent years, work from both industry and academia has pointed to the emergence and growth of lateral phishing attacks: a new form of phishing that targets a diverse range of organizations and has already incurred billions of dollars in financial harm…. This attack proves particularly insidious because the attacker automatically benefits from the implicit trust in the hijacked account: trust from both human recipients and conventional email protection systems.
The study is conducted in conjunction with Barracuda Networks, who obtained customer permission to use email data from the Office 365 employee mailboxes of 92 different organisations. 69 of these organisations were selected through random sampling across all organisations, and 23 Continue reading

With the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) combined with global rollout of 5G (Fifth-generation wireless network technology), a perfect storm is brewing that will see higher speeds, extreme lower latency, and greater network capacity that will deliver on the hype of IoT connectivity.
And industry experts are bullish on the future. For example, Arpit Joshipura, The Linux Foundation’s general manager of networking, predicts edge computing will overtake cloud computing by 2025. According to Santhosh Rao, senior research director at Gartner, around 10% of enterprise-generated data is created and processed outside a traditional centralized data center or cloud today. He predicts this will reach 75% by 2025.
Back in April 2019, Docker and Arm announced a strategic partnership enabling cloud developers to build applications for cloud, edge, and IoT environments seamlessly on the Arm® architecture. We carried the momentum with Arm from that announcement into DockerCon 2019 in our joint Techtalk, where we showcased cloud native development on Arm and how multi-architecture containers with Docker can be used to accelerate Arm development.
As part of our strategic partnership, Docker will Continue reading
