Over the years, Telecom Expense Management has helped organizations optimize and gain visibility into usage trends, expenses, and financial allocation — and now it can address a broader set of IT and cloud services.
NTT DoCoMo and NEC also trialed data transmission between a 5G base station and a 5G mobile station using a car moving at 189 mph.
Today on the Weekly show, MPLS in the enterprise, especially for the use case of segmentation.
Should you do it? Why would you do it? Considering the equipment you ve got, could you do it even if you wanted to? And even if you should, you would, and you can, what about all those other people you work with?
Discussing this emotionally fraught topic of MPLS in the enterprise is Tom Ammon, a senior network engineer who s supported it in a few different environments. He blogs at blog.tomammon.net.
We start by discussing the general case for MPLS in the enterprise, walk through the hardware and software requirements necessary to support MPLS, and then drill into segmentation more specifically.
We also look at reasons why you’d want to use MPLS for segmentation, and explores issues around operations, skillsets and training, and troubleshooting.

Last week’s news that the passwords of every Twitter user around the world had been exposed in plain text is a stark reminder of the sometimes-fragile nature of security in the online places we trust with our personal information.
In this latest example, Twitter says it was a technical error that led to the exposure of the passwords of the social network’s 330 million users. Twitter also says it’s fixed the bug and has no evidence that anyone’s accounts have been breached or misused.
While the error led to exposure only within Twitter’s internal systems, the social network has urged everyone to change their passwords anyway.
“Out of an abundance of caution, we ask that you consider changing your password on all services where you’ve used this password. You can change your Twitter password anytime by going to the password settings page.”
It’s sound advice, and it’s a step we have taken at the Internet Society with our own social media channels.
Yet, you may wonder what the point is in changing your password if a mistake like this can happen. If it happened once, surely it can happen again.
Yes, it could, there’s no doubt. We have compelling Continue reading
Even if Nvidia had not pursued a GPU compute strategy in the datacenter a decade and a half ago, the company would have turned in one of the best periods in its history as the first quarter of fiscal 2019 came to a close on April 29.
As it turns out, though, the company has a fast-growing HPC, AI, and cryptocurrency compute business that runs alongside of its core gaming GPU, visualization, and professional graphics businesses, and Nvidia is booming. That is a six cylinder engine of commerce, unless you break AI into training and inference (which is sensible), and …

Dustin Phillips, Co-Executive Director of ICANNWiki, is traveling across the United States in his red Toyota Corolla, making connections with the people who are making their communities – and the Internet – a better place. First stop: Portland, Oregon, where attended the ICANNWiki’s Girls in ICT Day Edit-a-thon and met up with Hack Oregon.
On the first day of the Internet Community Roadtrip, I headed down to Portland for ICANNWiki’s Girls in ICT Day Edit-a-thon. Making this my first stop was particularly special for me, because it is where I was introduced to the world of Internet governance three years ago. In my time at ICANNNWiki, I’ve experienced the important role that collaborative resources and tools play in the bottom-up, community-driven processes that keep the Internet free and global. At ICANNWiki, we focus on providing capacity-development, an informative resource and a sense of community. We build community by capturing and promoting the work that is being done, in order to provide well-deserved recognition and increase awareness for what is happening in the Internet governance ecosystem.
The stop in Portland focused on increasing the recognition for the role of women in the Internet’s history as planned, but also included Continue reading
In this Short Take, Russ White shares his thoughts on the pros and cons of telecommuting and what you can do to be a better remote employee.

Many moons ago, Cumulus Networks set out to further the cause of open networking. The premise was simple: make networking operate like servers. To do that, we needed to develop an operating system platform, create a vibrant marketplace of compatible and compliant hardware and get a minimum set of features implemented in a robust way.
Today, these types of problems are largely behind us, and the problem set has moved in the right direction towards innovation and providing elegant solutions to the problems around scale, mobility and agility. Simply put, if “Linux is in the entire rack,” then it follows that the applications and services deployed via these racks should be able to move to any rack and be deployed for maximum overall efficiency.
The formula for this ephemeral agility then is based on two constructs.
Welcome to Technology Short Take 99! What follows below is a collection of various links and articles about (mostly) data center-related technologies. Hopefully something I’ve included will be useful. Here goes!
Sorry, I don’t have anything for you. Feel free to send me links you’d like me to consider for inclusion in the next Tech Short Take!
The CCNAX is an alternative path to achieving the CCNA, but it's a rigorous one. Here's how to decide which path is right for you.
The RIPE 76 meeting starts next week in Marseille, which surprisingly is only the second RIPE meeting to have ever been held in France. RIPEs are always a key event for the Internet Society, with one of our colleagues, Jan Žorž, being a member of the RIPE Programme Committee, and another, Salam Yamout, being a member of the RIPE NCC Board. Andrei Robachevsky will be presenting during the Connect Working Group, and I’ll be there reporting on the highlights of the meeting, as well as staffing the MANRS stand on Thursday, so please come and say hello!
The Internet Society is also sponsoring the new RIPE on-site childcare service, whilst on Thursday we’ll be raising awareness of the MANRS initiative by organising a lunch for MANRS advocates, as well as having a stand in the exhibition area with goodies such as MANRS t-shirts and stickers.
The RIPE meeting is back to its usual Monday morning start after Dubai, and there’s three tutorials to choose from on Event-driven Network Automation and Orchestration using Salt (Mircea Ulinic), SRv6 Network Programming (Pablo Camarillo Garvia, Cisco), or IPv6 Security (Alvaro Vives, RIPE NCC).
The opening plenary commences at 14.00 CEST/UTC+2, and after the Continue reading
