Threat researchers at Netskope and McAfee this week described new and potentially dangerous networking vulnerabilities.
The new group’s list of founding members reads like a who’s who of chipmakers, telecommunications companies, cloud providers, edge infrastructure vendors, and others.
This is the latest in a series of major changes at Vodafone, which just said goodbye to a number of executives and announced large real estate changes in the U.K.
Another day, another multi-million dollar cloud deal for IBM, which signed a $260 million agreement with the Bank of the Philippine Islands.
HTTP is the application protocol that powers the Web. It began life as the so-called HTTP/0.9 protocol in 1991, and by 1999 had evolved to HTTP/1.1, which was standardised within the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force). HTTP/1.1 was good enough for a long time but the ever changing needs of the Web called for a better suited protocol, and HTTP/2 emerged in 2015. More recently it was announced that the IETF is intending to deliver a new version - HTTP/3. To some people this is a surprise and has caused a bit of confusion. If you don't track IETF work closely it might seem that HTTP/3 has come out of the blue. However, we can trace its origins through a lineage of experiments and evolution of Web protocols; specifically the QUIC transport protocol.
If you're not familiar with QUIC, my colleagues have done a great job of tackling different angles. John's blog describes some of the real-world annoyances of today's HTTP, Alessandro's blog tackles the nitty-gritty transport layer details, and Nick's blog covers how to get hands on with some testing. We've collected these and more at https://cloudflare-quic.com. And if that tickles your fancy, be sure Continue reading

CoreDNS replaced kube-dns as the default DNS server in the most recent update of Kubernetes. It is the fourth project to graduate CNCF.
The most important 5G pilot in the EU to date, according to the report, was carried out by Elisa in Finland because it used at least two cell sites and involved end users.
In just 3 days time I will be leaving for Cisco Live 2019 in Barcelona. Im thinking about what sort of event it will be and what to expect in term of announcements.
Especially one thought keeps reappearing and thats the thought of the transformation of Cisco. It is no longer a company with a future in just selling hardware. It itself has been disrupted by the emergence of “everything software” and merchant silicon.
The issues and consequences of merchant silicon has been discussed in many places, so I won’t mention them in this post, other than saying it has in some way forced Cisco’s hands in going down the route of being a software and services company.
Especially the software component will be huge this year. If you need proof of this, just look at the very large following as well as events from the Cisco DevNet community. But is this transformation smooth sailing from here? — I think not.
Traditionally Cisco’s reputation in the industry when it comes to software has been very flaky, to say the least. Something a lot of engineers hope will change in the coming years.
That being said, I think a lot of Continue reading
On today's IPv6 Buzz we examine the influence of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in today's technology landscape, particularly around the Internet Protocol (IP). Our guest is Fred Baker, emeritus chair of the IETF.
The post IPv6 Buzz 018: Inside The IETF With Fred Baker appeared first on Packet Pushers.
On 31 January, 2019, we will be launching our new association management software (AMS) that will offer many new capabilities to Internet Society members and Chapters.
During the roll-out of the new platform, the current AMS will be offline for several days (details below).
Internet Society members will be familiar with our current AMS if you have ever clicked on the “Member Login” link in the upper right corner of this web page. You also used the AMS if you logged into our Connect member forums or took an online course using our Inforum system. Chapter leaders have become very familiar with our AMS over the years, as it is the way they have interacted with their members and performed administrative functions for the Chapter.
Due to some functional limitations with the current AMS, we are replacing the system with a new AMS that will provide:
Expect network connectivity between clouds to get more complicated.
You’ve probably seen recently that the Wi-Fi Alliance has decided the rebrand the forthcoming 802.11ax standard as “Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6”, henceforth referred to as “Wi-Fi 6”. This branding decision happened late in 2018 and seems to be picking up steam in 2019 as 802.11ax comes closer to ratification later this year. With manufacturers shipping 11ax access points already and the consumer market poised to explode with the adoption of a new standard, I think it’s time to point out to the Wi-Fi Alliance that this is a dumb branding idea.
On the surface, the branding decision looks like it makes sense. The Wi-Fi alliance wants to make sure that consumers aren’t confused about which wireless standard they are using. 802.11n, 802.11ac, and 802.11ax are all usable and valid infrastructure that could be in use at any one time, as 11n is 2.4GHz, 11ac is 5GHz, and 11ax encompasses both. According to the alliance, there will be a number displayed on the badge of the connection to denote which generation of wireless the client is using.
Except, it won’t be that simple. Users don’t care about speeds. They care about having the biggest Continue reading
