Ipv6: An acronym to shake the networked world

This can be done using MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) or tunnelling. However, one of them is urgent - the global network is simply running out of addresses, with the mobile boom heavily contributing to the problem.

IP equals new alliances - get used to it

One of the most important developments to help companies deploy converged applications is the emergence of IP virtual private networks (VPNs) with classes of service, in the shape of Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS).

Cisco reveals more router flaws

A second flaw affects several versions of Cisco's lower-end routers that run the Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) protocol. This vulnerability can only be exploited when a router is configured to process IPv6 packets, Cisco said.

VoIP primer: How it works - and what the jargon means

An IP packet is formed when a router chops up a stream of digital information into manageable chunks. The router then places two addresses in the packet's header field - one for the destination, one for the originating device.
