Site Index • Wiki • Blog Verizon DSL Router Caught Red-Handed ! My in-home network was working fine with a Netgear WGR614 ver 7 wireless 4-port Ethernet router using a 192.168.1.1/8 subnet LAN. I signed up for the Verizon DSL service. Verizon's ads show up many on this page in the ad bar on this page. You can compare DSL vs. Cable vs. I installed Verizon's Westell DSL modem on the WAN side of my router following the instruction that came with the modem. Previous experience with the Helix distribution of Linux, and the Ethereal program (now the Wireshark program) taught me how to probe and log network traffic.
When I got home, I perused the logs. Here is one security expert write-up on why MITM attacks are threatening.

Verizon Hacks and Collects your LAN Information Solution Specific clarifications: American Mathematical Society :: Feature Column. Common economic wisdom suggests that if markets are free to operate without intervention, the good times will roll. The recent world economic crisis, now sometimes referred to as the Great Recession, seems to suggest a more complex reality. Much of modern economics is based on the assumption that the "human actors" in the "economic drama" behave rationally.
However, with the help of insights from the branch of mathematics known as game theory, some of the assumptions of modern economics can be seen as "simplistic. " First, when people do act in what seems to be a rational way, they can wind up in a "bad place. " I will be primarily concerned with situations that involve congestion, cars making independent decisions in situations such as how to get the fastest route from work to home in a road network, or the routing of packets of information on the internet. Prisoner's Dilemma (Albert Tucker) Here is the set-up, stripped of the setup that Tucker provided. (John Nash) Figure 1 Figure 2. Gmail for beginners.
Does 4K x 2K Offer Lasting Value To Consumers? | DisplaySearch Blog. It’s clear from discussions across the supply chain that the industry is considering launching 4K x 2K (3840×2160) resolution TVs, which have four times the information content of current 1080p products. This increase in resolution is a sign of the growing maturity in the TV market, and the price erosion that continues to damage the business. Set and panel makers are seeking the next innovation that can boost pricing. So why 4K x 2K? From a broadcast or packaged media point of view, any increase in content format is still a long way off, with many markets still to make the move even to HD (we estimate that less than a third of homes in Western Europe watch HD, for example). It is also hard to justify in terms of image quality. There are other reasons to introduce higher resolution, even where it is not viewable. Achieving such a product would not be cheap either. Our upcoming TV forecast includes 4K x 2K LCD sets for the first time.
Download data versus piracy claims: the figures don’t add up. High performance access to file storage Comment First, a declaration of interest. Before I joined El Reg, I was working on an analyst project (PDF/721 KB) with Sydney company Market Clarity led by long-time friend Shara Evans. This project yielded a couple of data points that are relevant to claims about internet piracy in this country. The first is that while most broadband plans in Australia offer very high download allowances these days, household users still average only around 6 to 7 GB per month.
The second, related to the first, is that we generally hang around the bargain bins when buying broadband: most of us buy on price rather than download allowances. If you believe the claims made by the music industry – for example, in the now-notorious Sphere Analysis report – then 4.7 million Australians are pirates and proud of it.
Any 1:1 relationship between broadband subscriptions and piracy suggests either that the estimate of pirates is too high or the definition is too broad. Yes. EU State Aid Approvals and fibre | The Wooster Blog. Leading from some conversations over the last couple of weeks I thought I’d have a look to see if there exists any link between EU State Aid rulings for broadband projects and that countries ranking in the fibre league tables. At the moment, this is little more than a work in progress while I try to understand why some countries make a big deal out of EU State Aid rules (UK tends to top the list) and how some countries seem able to make progress more efficiently - please drop me a line if you can help!
This is what the data so far seems to suggest: The more fibre you have, the less your Government feels the need to refer decisions to the EU for approval This table ranks EU countries according to the FttH Council League table, along with the the proportion of EU state aid decisions since 2003. Many EU broadband projects tend to use templates from previous rulings, and in fact the UK has proved to be a rich source of such templates.
Business models. Blogs.broughturner.com/2011/03/basic-questions-about-ngns.html. I get questions on telecom, mobile and Internet topics from students in different parts of the world and I try to reply to them all as best I can. One kind of question that comes up repeatedly has to do with "Next Generation Networks" or NGNs - what are they? Why are they based on packet technology? How do they support multi-services? Etc. Recently I answered a whole string of such questions for a Masters student in the UK. Hi For most kinds of communication, packet networks are more flexible and more efficient. The term NGN is a bit loaded, as it normally refers to a telco-centric view of how the Internet should evolve.

Internet and e-mail policy and practice. In two previous messages we looked at the question of how hard it will be to get IPv4 address space once the original supply runs out, and how much v4 address space people really need. Today we look at e-mail and IPv6. Of all the applications on the net, mail is probably the one that is least affected by NAT, and will be the least affected by running out of v4 addresses. For one thing, mail doesn't need a whole lot of IP addresses. You can easily put 10,000 users behind mail servers on a single IP, and even a giant mail system is unlikely to need more than a few hundred IPs. (For example, all of Hotmail's inbound servers sit behind 24 IPs.) So even if you had to go buy addresses for your v4 mail servers, you wouldn't have to buy very many. Mail is by design store and forward, and does not need end-to-end connections.
Today there are zillions of mail sites, all of which have IPv4 addresses, so if you want your mail to work, you have to talk IPv4.
Wireless. 4G mobile broadband can’t compare with netBlazr’s fixed service - netBlazr. Several people have asked me “Won’t 4G mobile broadband services solve the broadband problem?” Hardly! Despite President Obama’s support for widespread 4G mobile broadband coverage, there is no way 4G mobile technologies (like LTE and WiMAX) will provide the kinds of capacity we need to keep the US competitive with the rest of the world. For that we need fiber augmented with short range high capacity fixed wireless links.
The problem is mobile broadband capacity lags that of fixed links and its available capacity is spread too thin. For a real-world measurement of sustained data rates on Clearwire’s 4G network, look at this data from NetFlix. Verizon is likely to do a bit better than Clearwire, not because their LTE technology is inherently better than Clearwire’s WiMAX (they are very similar), but because Verizon is deploying the latest LTE gear while Clearwire’s technology is from a year or two earlier. Verizon’s LTE network Here’s an analysis I did two months ago for another purpose. We Will Soon Live in a 100 Gbps World: Broadband News and Analysis «
Thanks to iPhones, tablets and Netflix, the demand for bandwidth is back, and that’s drumming up interest in expanding and building out fiber networks. Today we think 1 Gbps fiber networks are enough, but soon we’ll need 100 Gbps, and a host of infrastructure companies are gearing up to provide it. Unnoticed by Silicon Valley, telecom is on the move again.
Equipment and network companies such as Ciena and Adtran are reaping the rewards in their stock prices: Ciena’s stock has risen more than $14.74, or 117 percent in the last six months, while Adtran’s has risen by $14.46 — or 47 percent. Other industry players such as Infinera and Tellabs, however, have seen their stock prices fall. Meanwhile, cloud computing and connecting data centers to faster and fatter networks has led to a new round of investment in fiber providers. Jimmy Yu, Sr., director of optical transport research at Dell’Oro Group, said in a report released earlier this month that: South Korea Seeks Internet Speed of 1 Gigabit a Second.
