Post-quantum readiness for TLS at Meta

Engineering at Meta

To address this issue, the cryptography community has been working on a new class of cryptosystems known as post-quantum cryptography (PQC), which are expected to withstand quantum attacks but can be less efficient (in particular, communication bandwidth wise) than its classical counterparts.

Network Troubleshooting in Depth: A Complete Guide

Kentik

Despite your best efforts as a network engineer, network failures happen, and you have to fix them. Sometimes, your connections don’t have enough bandwidth. No network engineer can troubleshoot without being prepared with their tools and telemetry. The Network is the Key. The network is down!” — I’m sure you heard that before.

Network Optimization Techniques for the Modern WAN

CATO Networks

A recent conversation with a WAN engineer got me thinking about how network optimization techniques have changed over the years. Optimization has always been about overcoming latency, jitter, packet loss, and bandwidth limitations. However, in recent years bandwidth has become much less of an issue for most enterprises.

Cato SASE Cloud: Enjoy Simplified Configuration and Centralized, Global Policy Delivery

CATO Networks

Because of this convergence, automated security engines and customized policies benefit from shared context and visibility allowing true single-pass processing and more accurate security verdicts. Included features like QoS, TCP Acceleration, and Packet Loss Mitigation allow customers to fine-tune performance to their needs.

Protocols of Transport Layer Explained

NW Kings

This blog will explore the key protocols within the transport layer, focusing on TCP ( Transmission Control Protocol ) and UDP (User Datagram Protocol) in detail. This layer operates on two primary protocols: TCP and UDP , each serving different purposes in data transmission. What is the Transport Layer?

How Can Organizations Improve Network Performance?

CATO Networks

For example, videoconferences between engineers and product managers on separate contents can be brought to a standstill because of packet loss or latency. Proxy TCP Connections Fundamentally, TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) connections inherently add more overhead than their UDP (User Datagram Protocol) counterparts.

Security Requires Speed

CATO Networks

Network Optimization QoS has been around for more than 20 years and is useful to ensure that critical applications have enough available bandwidth, but QoS does not do anything to improve performance beyond this. Even for files only 100MB in size, the performance improvement is substantial.
