Multi-Path TCP: revolutionizing connectivity, one path at a time

CloudFaire

Enter Multi-Path TCP (MPTCP), which exploits the presence of multiple interfaces on a device, such as a mobile phone that has both Wi-Fi and cellular antennas, to achieve multi-path connectivity. It's a major extension to the TCP protocol, and historically most of the TCP changes failed to gain traction. There is another way.

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.

Why latency is the new outage

Kentik

Not as difficult as time travel, but it’s difficult enough so that for 30+ years IT professionals have tried to skirt the issue by adding more bandwidth between locations or by rolling out faster routers and switches. Over the last few decades network managers have focused on adding bandwidth and reducing the network outages.

Network Optimization Techniques for the Modern WAN

CATO Networks

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. Lower dollar-per-bit costs of bandwidth and apps that incorporate data duplication and compression are big drivers of this shift.

Network Troubleshooting in Depth: A Complete Guide

Kentik

Sometimes, your connections don’t have enough bandwidth. Send these pings using the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) or TCP to one or any of the devices you believe to be involved. Ping is a utility that’s available on practically every system, be it a desktop, server, router, or switch. Packets simply get dropped.

How Can Organizations Improve Network Performance?

CATO Networks

Proxy TCP Connections Fundamentally, TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) connections inherently add more overhead than their UDP (User Datagram Protocol) counterparts. At scale, this leads to scenarios where TCP connections can significantly contribute to network congestion and reduce throughput.
