Metro Ethernet as a Wide Area Technology and Why It Must Be Secured
Overview Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs) have emerged as a key network infrastructure among enterprises looking to connect their users across vast networking topologies. A MAN sits between a Local Area Network (LAN) and a Wide Area Network (WAN) to enable sharing of resources across a region. As networks expand, both geographically and in number of users, the need for greater bandwidth capacity has become an increasingly important issue. In response, the use of Ethernet-based MANs has grown in popularity, and, thus, the term "Metro Ethernet" has emerged. A Metro Ethernet Network (MEN) connects geographically separated enterprise LANs in a metro area using Ethernet.

White Paper RSSTCP Westwood: Congestion Control With Faster Recovery
DownloadThis paper proposes a new version of the TCP protocol, called TCP Westwood, which enhances the performance of TCP window congestion control by using as feedback the end-to-end measurement of...
UTP vs STP vs FTP or ScTP
This white paper discusses among other things, whether to shield or not to shield. As you can see there are a significant design issues when you talk about data cable....
Cisco - Troubleshooting and Understanding Cisco Gatekeeper Bandwidth Management
The Cisco Gatekeeper maintains a record of all active calls so that it can manage the bandwidth resources in its zone. In a cluster configuration, the Gatekeeper Update Protocol (GUP)...
Receiver-Driven Bandwidth Sharing for TCP
Applications using TCP, such as web-browsers, ftp, and various P2P programs, dominate most of the Internet traffic today. In many cases the last-hop access links are bottlenecks due to their...
Handling Two-Way TCP Traffic in Asymmetric Networks
The TCP congestion control protocol is mainly designed for bandwidth symmetric paths. As two-way asymmetric connections will probably become common case in the future with the widespread use of ADSL,...
