IBM's Network Hardware Division (NHD), which is developing Rainier, said it expects the chip to increase network throughput by at least 30 per cent. It will also handle Ethernet and packet-over-Sonet traffic and serve as a bridge between the two...
The problem arises through a vulnerability in a program called 'lpd/LPRng' that controls printer requests across a Unix network, coupled with Sun Microsystems' remote procedure call software which allows networks to communicate with each other.
For road traffic you can increase the throughput by adding extra lanes, adopt higher speed limits, restrict or deter the number of vehicles accessing the road. For example the road, rail and air transport congestion in the UK now costs far more...
TCP uses packet retransmission, which means that packets can be delayed en route to their destination. On Tuesday, Net6 announced several enhancements to its VPN gateway that enhance the quality of service for all voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP...
The new protocol is covered by a proposed Transport-MPLS (T-MPLS) specification. An EtherType is part of the Ethernet network standard that indicates which protocol is being used to enable the router or switch to process the packet.
The Adaptive Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (wIPS) operates at the physical layer of the network and, according to Bryan Pelham, Cisco's European business development manager, "provides capabilities to be able to secure beyond what [Cisco...
