VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) is a computer networking protocol that provides for
automatic assignment of available Internet Protocol (IP) routers to participating hosts. This increases the
availability and reliability of routing paths via automatic default gateway selections on an IP subnetwork.
The Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) eliminates the single point of failure inherent in the
static default routed environment. VRRP specifies an election protocol that dynamically assigns
responsibility for a virtual router (a VPN 3000 Series Concentrator cluster) to one of the VPN
Concentrators on a LAN. The VRRP VPN Concentrator that controls the IP address(es) associated with a
virtual router is called the Master, and forwards packets sent to those IP addresses.
“MPLS is that it’s a technique, not a service.”
The fundamental concept behind MPLS is that of labeling packets. In a traditional routed IP network,
each router makes an independent forwarding decision for each packet based solely on the packet’s
network-layer header. Thus, every time a packet arrives at a router, the router has to “think through”
where to send the packet next.

MPLS VPN is a family of methods for using multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) to create virtual private networks (VPNs). MPLS VPN is a flexible method to transport and route several types of network traffic using an MPLS backbone.
Many network operators still struggle with which type of data-plane encoding they should use for segment routing. The world is hyper-connected and we can’t afford to be late to deliver 5G. Using IPv4, IPv6 and MPLS data-plane encoding keeps us moving forward.
In this presentation, you'll learn how to get started with bandwidth monitoring tool, NetFlow Analyzer.
Topics covered:
1. Configuring flow export from network devices
2. Traffic group
3. Application mapping
4. In-depth traffic visibility
5. Threshold-based alerting
CapAnalysis is a great tool that performs deep packet inspection and can easily be used for cyber investigations. This guide demonstrates it's capabilities and features. The advanced reporting and presentation features allows all audiences to understand the information being presented. The advanced filters also provides easy identification and analysis.

DPI BOX: deep packet inspection for ISP traffic managementIlya Mikov
DPI BOX enables ISPs to cut their backbone costs by up to 25%. This is achieved by suppressing non-priority BitTorrent traffic during peak hours. Overall, this dramatically improves customer experience.
Beside that, with DPI BOX an ISP can blacklist arbitrary sets of IPs and/or URLs in order to comply with local Internet regulations.
DPI BOX is zero-administration, ready-to-use traffic management solution, works right from the box.
This presentation was displayed at MWC 2011 covering the following topics: Traffic Management, Internet Offload Gateway, DPI, Adaptive Traffic Shaping, and Policy Enforcement.
What is DPI? How can it be used effectively? What are the different use cases and requirements for such products? We discuss this and the methodologies needed to properly evaluate the DPI functionality of network devices under the demanding network conditions in which they will be deployed.
http://nsslabs.com/DPI
SIP Threat Management device which is released by ALLO.COM is installed in front of any SIP based PBX system or VOIP gateway and offers extra layers of security against numerous types of attacks that are targeted towards IP telephony infrastructure. The features offered by the STM complement those of a traditional firewall or UTM, and it can be installed in conjunction with a UTM.
Instead of losing thousands of dollars due to the victim of VOIP attacks, invest on 300$ worth of ALLO STM, which is plug & play.
Investing in an STM to protect your communications network is a must.
Following are high level tasks will be performed as part of consolidation process or data migration activity from existing customer’s systems into newly consolidated Database.
This slide deck takes a look at the results from a recent network monitoring survey carried out by NetFort. The increased use of external SAAS and cloud based services; consolidation of servers into fewer data centres is driving demand for deeper insight into bandwidth consumption, especially on critical links. However, the number of applications in use on networks today and increased use of CDNs (Content Distribution Networks) makes it very difficult to see clearly what is happening and making life very difficult for network managers.
NetFort LANGuardian is deep packet inspection software for investigating, monitoring, and reporting on network activity. LANGuardian helps network administrators to:
- Classify network traffic by application and by user
- Troubleshoot bandwidth issues right across the network
- Perform network or user forensics on past events
- Investigate activity on Windows file shares,
- Keep track of user activity on the Internet.
Unified Threat Management (UTM) or Unified Security Management (USM), is a solution in the network security industry, and since 2004 it has gained currency as a primary network gateway defense solution for organizations.
In theory, UTM is the evolution of the traditional firewall into an all-inclusive security product able to perform multiple security functions within one single appliance: network firewalling, network intrusion prevention and gateway antivirus (AV), gateway anti-spam, VPN, content filtering, load balancing, data leak prevention and on-appliance reporting.

Packet capture is a computer networking term for intercepting a data packet that is crossing or moving over a specific computer network. Once a packet is captured, it is stored temporarily so that it can be analyzed. The packet is inspected to help diagnose and solve network problems and determine whether network security policies are being followed. Hackers can also use packet capturing techniques to steal data that is being transmitted over a network.
A firewall of any description is a must for any user connecting to the Internet.
DPI proves to be a better security centric technology than SPI. However, from a security point of view
However, for a truly effective platform a dedicated hardware firewall with DPI provides the best all-round solution and goes a long way to securing networks from the more sophisticated and damaging Internet threats.

Test 3G network performance, security, and stability at massive scale, quickly and cost-effectively against the behavior of millions of mobile users streaming video, calling, texting, spreading malware, and more.
Other test equipment providers sell LTE capabilities separately, but following our all-inclusive model, we’ve included LTE testing for every BreakingPoint CTM, existing or new. (All it takes is a firmware update.) The combination of such large-scale testing and our all-in-one pricing model drops the cost per UE to under $0.25. That’s right — less than 25 cents.
Contrast that to the $1,000 price tag mentioned above, and it’s not hard to see the impact it makes. The fact that we can now offer our customers the most cost-effective option of simulating millions of concurrent users with real application traffic (plus security attacks and fuzzing, of course) means that they can now validate their LTE network configurations at scale before going live. This is something they simply could not have done before.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
