Fiber transmission range leaps to 2,500 miles, and capacity increases
If researchers are successful, we can expect fiber data transmissions to get fatter and longer, as well as increases in data throughput.
Why DHCP's days might be numbered
Dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) still assigns dynamic addresses for IPv4 networks, but two newer protocols – SLAAC and DHCPv6 – are vying to do the job for IPv6.
Enterprises should be able to sell their excess internet capacity

6 years on, IPv4 still dominates IPv6
It’s been six years since the official launch of IPv6 on “World IPv6” day in 2012, but the newest version of the Internet Protocol still doesn’t account for the majority of online traffic, according to the Internet Society.
Internet testing results: why fixing the internet middle mile is essential for SD-WAN performance
Can you trust an SD-WAN to deliver a predictable user experience if the basis of that SD-WAN is the unpredictable public Internet? Based on our testing, the answer is a qualified “yes.”
DNS in the cloud: Why and why not
The upside can be better performance and resiliency with a down side of dire business impact if the DNS service provider suffers a catastrophic outage
The loss of net neutrality: Say goodbye to a free and open internet
The effort to restore net neutrality advanced after the U.S. Senate voted to reinstate the rules. The motion still has a battle ahead of it. If it fails, you can expect these long-lasting problems to surface.
Mobile data usage overtakes Wi-Fi, and CBRS threatens
Wi-Fi could be in for a rough ride. It’s getting hit by cellular data, plus a new chunk of data-friendly spectrum: the Citizen Broadband Radio Service (CBRS).
To improve network throughput, scrap the ones-and-zeros system
A Dutch researcher has proposed radical new methods for transporting data along existing fiber that will increase throughput at low cost.
