Bandwidth Saturation: Can we find salvation in the sky? | Official Flowroute VoIP Blog. The end is near. The growth curve for data usage is getting steeper by the second. The more we use data for applications like VoIP and mobile VoIP, UC, cloud based file repositories, and streaming the latest episode of COSMOS, the faster, and wider, we need our connections to be. Very soon, accessing the data we need may start to feel (even more) like sitting in freeway gridlock at rush hour. That is, unless we’re able to find salvation from high up above.

Our snowballing thirst for data threatens to clog all available bandwidth, bringing data speeds to a tortuously slow crawl and limiting access. Foresight in the 90s saw plenty of fiber laid throughout most metro areas, but connecting to that network still takes time and considerable investment. On a global scale, expanding the network of subsea cables that makes the Internet such a world-wide phenomenon will take time and resources. A couple of issues stand in the way of ISPs building a wireless backbone. Range is one. Summary Author. Web Application Firewalls Are Worth the Investment for Enterprises. In the early 2000s, most enterprises were not using WAFs to protect their Web servers and applications. Firewalls were the best practice, and intrusion detection and prevention were still maturing. The relatively low complexity of the Web applications was not a sufficient driver to justify an additional investment, and attackers were not yet backed by well-funded organizations.

Since then, Web applications have become more complex, relying on languages and scripts such as HTML5, Java, JavaScript, and PHP for rich interface application (RIA),extensive frameworks and complex third-party libraries. False positives and performance hits arising from protections that relied on traffic-pattern matching became a real issue. IPS vendors elected to disable most of the Web application protection signatures by default to mitigate these issues. Type A organizations realized the need for a new approach to Web application security, and have added WAFs to their security portfolios. Figure 1. Figure 2. Troubleshooting DNS.
