  • A simple guide to Deep Packet Inspection

    Most of us don't visit websites suspected of illegally distributing copyrighted material, so blocking us from accessing them seems harmless.

  • Network neutrality and protocol discrimination

    In an ideal Internet all packets would be treated as equal by the Internet Service Providers (ISP) and backbone operators who transport them across cyberspace. Unfortunately, this is not always the case since many ISPs restrict or completely block Internet access to some services by discriminating against certain network protocols.

  • The future of wireless networking architecture

    With ever more devices needing greater throughput for video and voice content, today's wireless hub-and-spoke network architecture is showing its age.
