With IPv6 as the designated successor to IPv4, enterprises and service providers are implementing products and solutions to enable a smooth transition from IPv4 to IPv6. To facilitate a smooth transition to IPv6, and ensure forward and backward compatibility with legacy IPv4 systems, a highly scalable IPv4/IPv6 gateway is required. The gateway should support the various IPv4-to-IPv6 techniques in use today, each of which addresses a different business need, as well as being flexible enough to accomodate future techniques...

Increasing numbers of devices are connected to the Internet daily: not only computers, but cell phones, cars and many other types of devices as well. This creates a corresponding demand for Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. The well publicized exhaustion of IPv4 addresses from the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) in early 2011 was a result of this demand, and has led to a growing interest in IPv6 adoption. As IPv4 and IPv6 weren't designed to be compatible with one another by default, the networking community is working to enable communication between the protocols, providing connectivity between the "legacy" IPv4 network and the new IPv6 network...

The Financial Information eXchange Protocol, also known as FIX, is
used by financial institutions to facilitate the sale of equities between
buyers and sellers. Originally it was designed to be used in private
networks so network delay was low and predictable. However, with
the adoption of IP networks, FIX has adapted to function over IP
data networks resulting in several key challenges that need to be
addressed...

ESG believes that IT priorities won't change much in 2010—CIOs will still be tasked to improve business processes while cutting costs. Can this be done? Yes, but it demands that large organizations look to consolidate resources, simplify the IT architecture, and seek out innovative vendors and solutions. ESG believes that A10 Networks fits this description—its new line of 64-bit Application Delivery Controllers has the potential to radically improve application performance while cutting capital and operating costs...

The majority of IT organizations have either already adopted, or are in the process of adopting cloud computing. The broad interest in cloud computing is understandable given that, as explained in this report, the goal of cloud computing is to enable IT organizations to achieve a dramatic improvement in the cost effective, elastic provisioning of IT services that are good enough.
The phrase good enough refers primarily to the fact that on a going forward basis, IT organizations will continue to be required to provide the highest levels of availability and performance for a small number of key applications and services. However, an ever-increasing number of applications and services will be provided on a best effort basis. The phrase good enough refers secondarily to the fact that the SLAs from both traditional network service providers as well as from public cloud computing providers are often weak or non-existent. As such, these services are currently provided on a good enough basis, whether or not that is explicitly acknowledged.
The adoption of cloud computing creates some very significant networking challenges. In recognition of those challenges, the phrase cloud networking refers to the LAN, WAN and management functionality that IT organizations must put in place in order to enable cloud computing...

As the Internet has evolved, so have the attacks on its infrastructure.
Each piece of critical infrastructure used by a typical user must be
secured. Sporadic outages of key services can damage reputations
and consumer confidence, and are thus not tolerated. Outage of the
critical DNS (Domain Name System), used to resolve friendly domain
names to IP addresses, is no exception...

In the past two decades, IP networks have evolved and the number
of IP-enabled devices soared at a tremendous pace. Globally unique
IPv4 addresses are in great demand and IPv4 address exhaustion
has been observed since the mid-1990s. NAT (Network Address
Translation) became a popular tool for alleviating the IPv4 address
exhaustion...
