August 9, 2006 — 8:01pm ET

If you think about it, instant messaging fits well with modern business issues--it keeps a written record, it merges with collaboration software, it works well across devices and networks, and it's quick and easy to use. Recently it's also become a decent tool for IP voice communications thanks to open standards, quality-of-service and data encrption, despite some limitations.

Juniper's new router serves carriers, enterprise

July 16, 2006 — 8:01pm ET

Juniper Networks' newest router, the M120, is designed for linking faraway WAN and WLAN locations. In addition to security and quality-of-service features, the routers supports high-speed connections such as the DS-0 and OC-192 standards. It also has packet forwarding and can be used as a multi-service device. But none of this comes cheap, as normal configurations start at $100,000.

Is it time to start resisting Gigabit Ethernet?

May 21, 2006 — 8:01pm ET

Approximately $10 billion of IT budgets will be wasted on unnecessary Gigabit Ethernet connections in the next two years, Gartner analyst Mark Fabbi said recently. Instead, companies should buy better management and quality-of-service tools, he believes. The logic is that there's no point in conducting a network upgrade now since most applications don't really need the extra bandwidth, and by the time they do, networking technologies will either be faster or cheaper anyway. (Is he right, …

A new study led by researchers at the University of North Texas will focus on IP telephony security issues.

Microsoft, Sun do web services interoperability

March 12, 2006 — 8:01pm ET

Sun Microsystems continues to be friendly with Microsoft, at least for making its open-source application server ("Glassfish") interoperate with the communications protocols in the upcoming Windows Vista-era servers.

Carriers gear up to sell priority QoS

January 22, 2006 — 8:01pm ET

BellSouth, AT&T and Verizon are all considering deals to offer premium quality-of-service to specific content providers. But if content providers get better QoS in a finite network, then everyone else's performance suffers. That basically gives the network provider control over your Internet experience. Look for the FCC to start asking questions about this potentially dangerous trend.

Spec tweaks delay WiMax approvals

January 18, 2006 — 8:01pm ET

Product certifications for the IEEE's new WiMax standard are being delayed by a last-minute code change, officials of the WiMAX Forum said; and when testing for the standard finally is ready, it will only cover basic interoperability, not quality-of-service or security features. Another area of delay is in building automated testing tools, so it will be at least a matter of weeks or months before truly compatible WiMax networking gear is available--don't let vendor marketing deceive you. …
