Publisher's description
At North Dakota State College of Science (NDSCS) students exchanged high-bandwidth files via the college's legacy Gigabit and wireless infrastructure. To continue to deliver secure, reliable, high-speed network services to a growing number of campus and remote students, NDSCS sought a more scalable Gigabit switching solution, a more resilient wireless infrastructure and a proven Intrusion Prevention System (IPS). NDSCS put its network upgrade requirements out to bid under North Dakota state procurement policies. After reviewing market offerings, the college selected a secure converged solution based on 3Com Gigabit core switches, 3Com wireless switches and IPS from TippingPoint, a division of 3Com.

Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)
Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) is a proprietary Cisco advanced distance-vector classless routing protocol. By "advanced," we are saying that it is better than the other distance vector protocols, like RIP (Routing Information Protocol), for example. "Classless" means that it will be advertising the subnet mask information in its updates. This white paper will introduce you to EIGRP and discuss some of its new features.

A Tier 1 mobile carrier was operating a statewide network of more than 1,000 cell sites interconnecting with 2 primary Mobile Switching Centers (MSCs). The challenge was to reduce leased network transport costs in the face of planned capacity growth, while positioning the backhaul network to support 3G broadband data services. CFN analyzed the wireless carrier's embedded access transport circuits, costs, and growth requirements at the facilities level between the cell sites and the MSC, and between the MSC and the public switched network. Leveraging its FiberSource design platform and network optimization tools, CFN designed an optimized fiber network that directly connected the MSCs and pushed interconnection points with the LEC out from the MSCs to 7 strategically placed LEC central office collocations.

What makes one Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) better than another? Is it the total number of security filters? The overall performance or throughput of the device? Or maybe the number of known network attacks that the system can help block? When it comes to intrusion prevention - and to detecting and blocking unwanted or malicious network traffic - the focus should be on quality, not quantity. Organizations that are choosing an IPS vendor should start by assessing the quality of a solution's attack coverage. Certainly, there are other factors to consider - reliability, performance, manageability, scalability, and technical support - but the quality of attack coverage goes to the heart of the value proposition of any potential security solution.

Before the development of modern, long-range defensive weapons, one common military tactic - dating back to the days of ancient Greece - was to launch "Human-Wave" attacks. Wikipedia describes these offensives as "A shock assault of an enemy, in which soldiers attack in successive line formations. .. generally without the support of arms or with any sophistication in the tactics used." Although casualties among wave attackers were usually high, they often found weak spots and managed to penetrate defenses.
