Here's the series of patches - looks like applied few hours ago. https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20190617.104121.1475407136257...

I think it all boils down to how you deploy your stuff. If you think Cloud is so massive that it is never a SPOF, you'll likely not meet your availability aspirations in some time …

Yes. But the point is you cannot assume TCP is the only transport protocol that moves data across the public internet.

I agree that with better modulation techniques on DOCSIS protocols, you could achieve higher throughput on the downstream. However, IMO - what should have been the focus for Google…

You are assuming that TCP with current congestion avoidance algorithm is the only transport medium. When you have bigger pipes allowing you more bits to pack/unpack, you might find…

1. Customer Service - Provide enterprise solutions for customer service and charge $$$ per transaction. The live nature of this would prove a lot of value for feedback mechanisms f…

"Even if you file an 83b election, you are still liable for paper gains between the value of your options when you were granted them and the value when you exercised." Wouldn't thi…

Him sending an email to the .np cctld has nothing to do with the hack he's talking about. More likely, his plain text email was intercepted 'on the wire' and would have been the sa…

SSL/TLS certificates provisioned through AWS Certificate Manager are free. You pay only for the AWS resources you create to run your application.

I saw this coming. Nepal has such good natural resources to generate enough electricity for itself and export to its neighbors, yet political deadlocks and bureaucratic hurdles are…

I think Industry Research is mostly driven by some constraints that applies to their architecture, their business use-cases and how much the company is willing to spend $$$ on rese…

More than just an OS, I think what they've built is a Network OS (NOS) on top of Linux. They have been involved in Switch Abstraction Interface(SAI) specifications from Open Comput…

One of the strategy NYCMesh took for where line of sight was not available was to tunnel through the Internet to mesh. This would enable anyone to join the mesh without line of sig…

BGP's transitive trust mechanism involves 2 parties. The router making an "announcement" or "withdrawal" and the router "accepting" or "origin validating" these. If one of the part…

With 2 renewals of 3-year H1B work visa, you do not have much time to shop around for employers sponsoring permanent residency. It is a long process in itself , and usually compani…

Not really. You'd want every routers in the path to reply to see all the hops in between. This would be unreliable though, since the ICMP TTL exceeded message might come in out-of-…

I'd think sending multiple packets (parallelism) with varying TTLs (1,2,3..n) without waiting for responses from each hops to increment the TTL, would probably give us faster trace…

First of, Thanks for this technology that helped save some of my countrymen. This goes to show that technology can indeed help in many avenues to save lives. I am originally from N…

Hi, We would want to establish a solar cell-phone charging system in Kathmandu and affected areas. If anyone got any ideas of how to proceed (who would donate these, who would tran…

Humans try hard to be smarter than their "software" counterparts. Start-ups emerge with a problem to solve "How to make a normal human smarter than any machines". Economics would b…

You should trace the attackers by tracing back. Work with your upstream providers and mailing lists (NANOG) and publicly shame these attackers. Likely, they are spoofing addresses …

Congrats! Would love to see BGPMon providing more intelligent analysis partnering with OpenDNS to Internet incidents such as the Google service disruption in some parts of the worl…

You can also check RIPE BGPlay here and track the outage - https://stat.ripe.net/widget/bgplay#w.resource=74.125.226.0/... Type: A > pathchange Involving: 74.125.226.0/24 Short des…

Your traffic traversed through SMILE>Zantel>Tata .. You may not be able to influence the best path to reach Google through Smile even though Zantel might be multihomed (unless the …

Looks like your provider is traversing through TATA Communications (AS6453) on both of those. Wonder what your latency would be with a SEACOM(AS37100) traversal, http://en.wikipedi…
