Ubuntu Hacks: Cache Packages Locally With Apt-Cacher | 2006-06-01 | O'Reilly Media |
| If the user manages multiple Ubuntu machines, he or she probably wishes there were some way to download new packages only once and install them on every machine. Better still, it would be good if it worked totally transparently so the user could just use the regular package-management tools in Ubuntu and not care about what happens behind the scenes. Apt-cacher allows the user to do exactly that. With Apt-cacher running on one machine on the network, the user can configure all the other machines to fetch packages through it.

Delivering IP Paging for Educational Institutions | 2006-05-22 | Cisco Systems |
| IP networking and Internet technologies now have the ability to converge each independent communication system in a school or school district into a single resource. This is called IP convergence, and it increases the efficiency of systems currently in place, and serves as the foundation for future application expansion. The IP Paging system is based on standard networking standards. New systems can be easily and cost-effectively upgraded as the school's communication requirements change. The converged IP approach helps ensure that schools and districts won't be overwhelmed by a system with costly features that go unused or that can only be managed by a specially trained resource. | |||

Designing Large Scale Service Provider Dial Networks With OSPF | 2006-05-21 | Cisco Systems |
| To design a dial network is a challenging task for Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Each ISP uses a unique method to design dial networks. However, all ISPs share the same areas of concern when they design dial networks" This paper addresses most of the questions above and deals with the design practices of using the Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) in an ISP dial environment. OSPF is often used in the core network of ISPs.

Innovative School District Uses Wireless Networks to Break Down Classroom Walls | 0000-00-00 | Cisco Systems |
| Using computers to enhance education in the classroom is nothing new. But using wireless computers to take education out of the classroom is, and the Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) system in Fairfax County, Virginia is at the forefront of this budding movement. Few years ago, FCPS decided that the Internet could significantly enhance education if it could be made easily available to all students and faculty members through wireless connectivity. In addition, FCPS wanted a network capable of supporting data, voice, and video communications. Among the goals was to enable videoconferencing with students around the world. FCPS chose Cisco Systems as the single provider of its Wide-Area Network (WAN).

New Vertical Markets for Satellite Broadband Solutions | 2006-05-01 | alcatel |
| Beyond basic Internet/Intranet access services, satellite broadband technologies are currently being deployed in new vertical markets such as wide-area governmental/defense networks, mission-critical networks for public services (public safety, e-health, e-education), and cellular backhauling. All these markets share a common and simple need, i.e. instant access to high data rate (up to several Mbit/s) connections, with a high degree of mobility and quality of service, in remote areas where the terrestrial infrastructure is not present or not sufficiently reliable. Historically, satellite solutions have perfectly matched such needs in the narrowband domain (with the Inmarsat service, for example). Alcatel's goal is to extend the relevance of satellite solutions to the broadband domain.
