Take a Network Break! It’s a busy show this week. We start with follow-up on Anthropic’s Project Glasswing, router bans, and end-of-engineering/end-of-support date changes for Fortinet’s FortiOSv7.4. Our Red Alert warns of 13 critical CVEs in the Linux kernel (all of which can be addressed by updating to version 7). On the news front, Cisco... Read more »

Dijkstra’s algorithm is the foundation of shortest path calculations for link state routing protocols. But researchers have developed a new algorithm that improves on this decades-old approach. Today’s Heavy Networking welcomes Dr. Bruce Davie to discuss the potential of this new algorithm to unseat Dijkstra. After thoughtful consideration, and consultation with others, his opinion is...

Today’s episode is part one of a three part series to break down Network Access Control (NAC). Ethan and Holly start simple by explaining what NAC is at a high level and all of the jargon and acronyms that come with it. They also cover where and when network access control is applied, whether NAC... Read more »

Tom Coffeen and Nick Buraglio welcome Chris Cummings to talk about developing code for IPv6. Chris argues that moving to IPv6 restores end-to-end connectivity, which reduces complexity for developers without the need for “ridiculous hacks” caused by IPv4 NAT. The discussion offers practical advice on avoiding common developer traps, and covers financial benefits such as... Read more »

What separates good Wi-Fi engineers from ones who really can troubleshoot anything? Linux. Understanding Linux—from packet capture workflows to using tcpdump to how USB NIC drivers work—will set you apart from other engineers. Guest Bryan Ward joins the show to break down why you need to know Linux as a WLAN professional and how you... Read more »

A cryptographically relevant quantum computer is, at some point, going to emerge that can crack modern encryption. But we don’t know when, so it’s tempting to set this problem aside. On today’s sponsored episode, we talk about why ignoring Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) isn’t an effective strategy. Sponsor Cisco is here to make the case for... Read more »

Take a Network Break! We start with follow up on Anthropic’s Project Glasswing and Linux 7.0. On the news side, Cisco announces a prototype quantum switch that promises to support multiple quantum encoding modalities, Cato Networks adds an enterprise browser to its security offerings, and Mozilla validates the bug-finding powers of Anthropic’s Mythos model. Anthropic... Read more »
