This presentation explores the critical role of industrial Ethernet switches in high-capacity industrial networks. It highlights five key challenges that these switches will face in the future due to evolving technologies and demanding applications.
Fast Ethernet operates at 100 Mbps while Gigabit Ethernet operates at 1000 Mbps, making it ten times faster. Gigabit Ethernet has a longer coverage range of up to 70 km compared to Fast Ethernet's 10 km. Gigabit Ethernet requires specialized devices, raising costs and complexity, unlike Fast Ethernet.
The following pointers will help you understand it better and give tips on how to choose between Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet.
Speed:As discussed earlier, Fast Ethernet offers a LAN speed of 100 Mbps, while Gigabit Ethernet provides a LAN speed of 1000 Mbps, which is 10 times faster than Fast Ethernet. Fast Ethernet is suitable for small businesses or home applications that require a maximum LAN speed of 100 Mbps. On the other hand, Gigabit Ethernet is ideal for applications that demand high Internet speeds and LAN speeds.
Round-trip Delay (RTD): This refers to the time duration taken by a web browser to send the signal and receive the acknowledgment from the server. Round-trip time or Round trip-delay is expressed in milliseconds. When discussed in terms of computer networks, it is also referred to as a ping time. The Gigabit Ethernet has a delay of 4000-bit times, and the Fast Ethernet has a delay of 100-150 bit times. On looking at the numbers, one can realize that the Fast Ethernet has slightly longer delay times than Gigabit Ethernet.
Device Requirements: As said before, both these Ethernet types utilize similar devices, but have slightly different requirements. The Fast Ethernet does not require specific devices, whereas Gigabit Ethernet requires specifically designed cables and Ethernet switches. Thus, it raises the cost of investment.
Configuration: Owing to their requirement for special devices, the configuration problems are little higher in Gigabit Ethernet than the Fast Ethernet.
Upgrades: Standard Ethernet to Fast Ethernet upgrade is easy and requires no major investments. However, Fast Ethernet to Gigabit Ethernet upgrade requires major investment and there are several complexities involved in it.
Coverage: Fast Ethernet offers a coverage of 10 km and Gigabit Ethernet can cover up to 70 Kms.

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).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

2. What is fiber loss in a network ?
• Fiber loss, also known as optical loss or attenuation, refers to the
reduction in signal strength as light travels through a fiber optic network.
• It occurs due to various factors that cause the light signal to weaken or
degrade along its path.
• Fiber loss is an important consideration in network communication
because excessive loss can lead to poor signal quality, slower data
transmission, and decreased network performance.
3. Factors Affecting Fiber Optic Loss Calculation in Networks
In order to accurately calculate fiber optic losses in a network, it is crucial to consider various
factors that contribute to signal degradation. Here are important factors to take into account
• Intrinsic Attenuation Losses
• Dispersion Losses
• Extrinsic Factors
• Operating Wavelength
• Fiber Length and Cable Quality
• Environmental Factors
4. Factors Affecting Fiber Optic Loss Calculation in Networks
Intrinsic Attenuation Losses
• This type of loss is inherent to the
fiber itself and occurs due to the
material properties of the fiber
optic cable. It includes absorption,
scattering, and bending losses
caused by impurities, impurities,
and imperfections in the fiber.
5. Dispersion Losses
• Intra-Modal Dispersion: Pulse
spreading in single mode fibers due
to refractive index or propagation
constant variations.
• Intermodal Dispersion: Pulse
broadening in multimode fibers due
to propagation delays between
different modes.
6. Extrinsic Factors
• Connector Losses: Imperfect mating
between connectors.
• Bend Losses: Fiber optic cables bent
beyond minimum bend radius.
• Splice Losses: Joining fiber
segments together.
7. Operating Wavelength
• Different fiber types exhibit varying
attenuation characteristics at
different wavelengths.
• Wavelength-dependent losses
should be considered based on the
specific fiber type being used.
8. Fiber Length and Cable Quality
• As light propagates through the fiber,
it gradually attenuates with distance.
Longer fiber lengths result in higher
loss values.
• Longer fiber lengths generally result in
higher overall losses.
• The quality and specifications of fiber
optic cables can also impact the level
of signal loss.
9. Environmental Factors
• Temperature: Extreme temperature
variations can affect the
performance of fiber optics and
contribute to losses.
• Contaminants: Presence of dust,
dirt, or other contaminants on fiber
connectors can increase signal
attenuation.
10. How to Calculate Fiber Loss ?
Steps to calculating fiber loss
Determine the CableAttenuation
Calculate the Splice Loss
Calculate the Connector Loss
Add a Safety Margin
Calculate theTotal Link Loss
Formulas for calculating Fiber Loss
• Total Link Loss = Splice Loss + Cable Attenuation +
Connector Loss + Safety Margin.
• Splice Loss (dB) = Splice Loss Allowance (dB) x
Number of Splices.
• Cable Attenuation (dB) = Maximum Cable
Attenuation Coefficient (dB/km) × Length (km).
• Connector Loss (dB) = Connector Loss Allowance
(dB) x Number of Connector Pairs.
• Add a Safety Margin to account for uncertainties and
future changes.
• Calculate theTotal Link Loss by summing up the
individual components.
Remember: These calculations provide estimates, and actual measurements may vary based on factors like fiber
quality and installation techniques. Regular testing is crucial for network performance and reliability.
11. Techniques for Reducing Fiber Loss in a Network
• Ensure you use high-quality cables throughout the network.The cables must have similar
properties.
• Try to use qualified connectors wherever possible.Always ensure to keep insertion loss less
than 0.3dB, and any additional losses less than 0.2dB.
• Try to follow the environment and splicing requirements properly while splicing.
• Ensure to use clean connectors.
• Choose the best methods while laying fiber optic cables.
• Ensure to use the entire disc for configuration.You can use a single disc for more than 500
meters.This will help minimize the number of joints.
• You need to install protection from environmental elements such as electrical, lightening, anti-
mechanical, and anti-corrosion protection.
• Try to use all components including cables, connectors, transmitters, media converters,
switches of high quality.This will help you ensure high performance and minimize fiber loss in
the network.
12. Conclusion
• Fiber loss is a critical parameter that significantly impacts network
performance, reliability, troubleshooting, and maintenance. By
comprehending and managing fiber loss effectively, network
administrators can ensure optimal signal transmission, minimize
downtime, and maintain a robust and efficient communication
infrastructure.
