The shortage of IPv4 addresses has accelerated the move toward IPv6. With roughly 4.3 billion possible addresses (32 bits), IPv4 can no longer meet the needs of modern connected devices. IPv6, by contrast, uses 128 bits—roughly 340 sextillion addresses—providing virtually unlimited capacity for growth. Over the past few decades, several methods have been developed to ease the transition from...
"The Constraints". While electronic schematics provide a practical way to represent the components and connections within a circuit, they are ultimately a simplification that overlooks important aspects of how the circuit actually behaves. Connection lines are assumed to have no resistance, inductance, parasitic capacitance, or propagation delay, and Kirchhoff’s laws are applied as if they...
In the telecom world innovation has taken the spotlight, opening the doors to new protocols, cutting-edge features, ambitious capabilities like 5G, NGFW, etc. Yet behind the scenes, there's a less glamorous, but equally vital actor: the robust hardware supporting all these technologies. Modern network devices nowadays promise more than ever, but these promises are only as good as the components...
The AI Revolution (AI) is transforming the business world at an unprecedented pace. What once seemed like science fiction has now become commonplace in the tech industry. Its advancements have led to significant improvements in various areas, such as process optimization and more accurate decision-making. Tech companies are harnessing AI to drive innovation, enhance operational efficiency, and...
The emergence of Bitcoin in 2008 marked the beginning of a technological revolution that led to the development of blockchain technology, laying the foundation for smart contracts. These applications, fundamental to the decentralized applications (Dapps) ecosystem, have transformed digital interactions by automating processes and handling substantial financial transactions. In this new digital...
Continuing the series of blogs posts on the most representative technologies to consider when selecting switches, this time we look at VLAN technology. VLANs arose from the need to isolate different stations operating on the same physical local network. In addition, VLANs isolate different broadcast domains and help stations to avoid support excessive broadcast traffic, saving bandwidth and...
