Re:Tethering surcharge
How do they know what os you run? I want to see proof of this.
The most common phrasing of this is "How do cellular carriers detect tethering?" Methods include IP TTL/hop count values, MAC numbers, TCP implementation fingerprinting, User-agent of cleartext HTTP requests, and sniffing DNS/SNI for requests to OS update servers. A Cisco manual explains what Cisco ECS does.

Re:also Huawei taking Cisco's code
Ever wonder why people consider you a nutcase? This isn't about America. It isn't about Apple, it's about Europe and it's about Huawei, a provider of known spyware. There must be some reason that Huawei is going to hold up 5G rollout.
People also seem to have forgotten (or not know about) Huawei's code theft from Cisco:

Re:AV1 is very complex for encoding
"No one has "live" encoded video on anything other than dedicated encoding hardware in a really REALLY long time."
That is actually not true - the industry is moving away from specialized encoding ASICs to more flexible VM-based encoders (for example see the Cisco/Synamedia Virtual DCM.
But regardless, it takes years for the ASICs to be spun up, and complexity is complexity. ASICs are more efficient than CPU/GPU, but they still need to do all the computational work, so an HEVC encoder ASIC will take a lot less power than an AV1 encoder ASIC.

Re:support contracts required to get updatesThere is a separate upgrade policy for security breaches. Cisco offered a free software upgrade for a number of such issues.
https://tools.cisco.com/securi...
As a special customer service, and to improve the overall security of the Internet, Cisco may offer customers free software updates to address high-severity security problems. The decision to provide free software updates is made on a case-by-case basis. Refer to the Cisco security publication for details. Free software updates will typically be limited to Critical and High severity Cisco Security Advisories.
Sample security advisory:
https://tools.cisco.com/securi...
Cisco has released free software updates that address the vulnerability described in this advisory. Customers may only install and expect support for software versions and feature sets for which they have purchased a license.
They do a reasonable thing on support side by the look of it.

The reports do not necessarily lead to an immediate blocking - it's up to your policy and security response team to define what happens with the findings. To the amount of "bycatch" - we carefully look for precision and recall of the individual detectors so the amount of "bycatch" is not as high as you expect.

Re:Because you NEED 4K video on your cellphone!
Sure I have. It's still not meant to be used as a primary home internet connection. There's a reason wireless is also called "mobile". It's designed to be used while you're on the go.
You should tell that to all those manufacturers who have been putting radios in their routers for the last decade. Or the entire companies built around the idea of fixed point cellular service. Or the entire concept of fixed LTE that's been expanding everywhere.

Long Overdue
This is a matter of economics. Some of the expenses for running an application vary significantly in proportion to use while others do not. In the case of cloud services and particularly for comprehensive services, this allows for the lowest achievable cost as there is not limit on savings at scale and less wasted/unused capacity over time.
You may idealize Hadoop, Pig, Scala, et al. but realize that hosting any part of your own solution requires major investment in hardware, utility, and especially personnel. That isn't just "programmers, that includes maintenance workers from janitors to facilities professionals and everyone else required to keep a building in working order. Then additional financial costs in insurance, loan amortization given the huge capital expenditures otherwise required, etc.
This is what enables arguments for a fixed price or some mix of fixed and metered usage billing. IT in business is a business process, and in most companies IT services are a cost center best minimized to allow more productive investments for actual business growth.

I worked on a C++ device driver
In the 1990s I worked on a complex device driver for OS/2 for ATM networking (asynchronous transfer mode). The driver was around 100K lines of C++ code however only a subset of C++ was used. Surprisingly the use of C++ worked out quite well. We had an equivalent driver for Windows NT that was written in C that was over 300K lines of code. The C++ codebase was a lot more reliable and easier to work on, despite all the work that was done to make C++ work in kernel mode under OS/2. The C++ driver actually had more functionality than the C driver and it was faster as well with a smaller binary. Also, as I said, it was a subset of C++, especially in the performance critical code. The driver in question included the entire ATM signalling stack and implemented full LAN emulation support with both Ethernet and Tokenring plus it could emulate multiple networks (ELANs, equivalent to VLANs) simultaneously. When I implemented multiple ELAN support I was afraid it was going to be a nightmare, but due to the way it was architected in C++ I ended up only having to change a few lines of code, changing a pointer to the LANE class to an array of pointers.
For the signalling stack and ILMI C++ worked out especially well due to the event and message based nature of it and the various state machines. For LAN emulation it made it easy to support both Ethernet and Tokenring by having a few virtual functions in the main LANE class.
There was no exception handling support and none of the more complex C++ features were not used. It used templates but that was also somewhat limited.
Having destructors was also quite nice, making it easy to clean up resources.
Despite being C++, debugging wasn't too bad though at the time the OS/2 kernel debugger basically ran at the assembly level.
If the infrastructure is in place I can certainly see using C++ in the kernel and device drivers.

Core switches are such a mystery
I don't think you know what a switch does.
Maybe the problem is worse than that! Maybe Cisco themselves don't know what a switch does, since they offer an IDS module for their flagship core switch:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/pro...
And this seems like a serious problem in the networking industry. Apparently Alcatel-Lucent doesn't know either, since there's a built-in IDS in their core switch.
http://enterprise.alcatel-luce...
And - OMG - even HP is completely confused about this technology, since they also have IDS on their core switch.
Or maybe, just maybe, you vastly overestimate your understanding of enterprise networking.

Link to files and simple summary
The Shadow Brokers github repo was taken down but not before it was mirrored
:)
https://github.com/nneonneo/eqgrp-free-file
Everything (that was made available in the sample tarball) is inside the Firewall folder.
Most of the human readable stuff is in Firewall/OPS and Firewall/SCRIPTS.
From the very little scanning I did, it seems most of the stuff is meant to attack Cisco PIX and Cisco ASA firewalls/routers.
There are quite a few scripts for preparing/setting up an ops terminal from which an antagonist can launch attacks.
One of the attack techniques involves instructing a pix/asa to fetch an implant over http (or ftp) from a web server running on an ops terminal.
So some of scripts install an http server (apache or tiny httpd) on the ops terminal.
The antagonist supplies the implant (the software bug) on the ops terminal.
Then they use vulnerabilities in the pix to instruct it to fetch the implant, upgrade the target's OS or load a module into the running system and then that gives them full access.
The binaries and implants are provided in the repo as well. -

It is about integration
The advantage of silicon photonics is to integrate the optical elements (lasers & PIN diodes) into the silicion drivers and amplifiers, theoretically reducing cost.
There are already 100 Gbps CWDM4 QSFP28 (4 wavelengths of 25 Gbps on 2 fibers) and 100 Gbps PSM4 QSFP28 (single 25 Gbps wavelength on 8 parallel fibers) transceivers out there, but they need discrete lasers & PIN diodes in InP or GaAs, not silicon.
So we will see how Intel's silicon photonics 100 Gbps CWDM4 QSFP28 and 100 Gbps PSM4 QSFP28 transceivers end up being priced.
My impression is that 50 Gbps wavelengths are coming soon (using 4-level PAM), so two of those will be 100 Gbps. But the holy grail is the one wavelength 100 Gbps, likely some kind of high-order modulation (HOM). AppliedMicro has demonstrated a 100 Gbps single-wavelength PAM4, but no word on distance.

Just checking
Software still needs hardware to run on, right?
In other news, layoffs of this size baffle me. This, and the 12,000 from Intel a few months ago are almost too large to comprehend. And why so sudden? Have you ever woken up one day and decided that you didn't need 20% of your stuff? Is Cisco really so sure right this second that they need to change what they're doing so much that the only way to accomplish this change is to hack away a solid fifth of the company? And are they getting rid of 20% of their executive team as well? How many of these people will be looking for work in the near future? Out of those 60-odd people, I expect to see 12 of them out of a job. Right?

Re:The great thing about standards...
You cannot assume that that the reported data rate (slide 7) is decreased due to 8b/10b encoding.
As in gigabit ethernet, the media appears to be reporting a data rate where the signalling rate would be ((10b/8b)-1) higher (e.g., in gigabit ethernet, 1.25 Gbps). That being said, it could easily be the reverse and people are mistakenly reporting the signalling rate as a data rate.
I don't work in this area, so I can't say. I've gotten as close to an "official" source as I can in the first link.

Know your environment for better control it
I have been reading many different types of justifications on the security of the CPU makers (whatever be the brand). However we can't overestimate the fact that we are humans and that anybody can make mistakes, in particular with so complex artifacts as CPUs. These hidden parts and their security mechanisms can have bugs (yesterday, today or tomorrow). And also, they are not designed only to work with previous and current scenarios, but with the unknown future ones that are completely unexpected.
Thinking on this issue I checked quickly what CPUs have the Cisco Firewalls (just to check a famous brand), and notice that they have different ones depending on the appliance model, from the AMD Geode to some Intel Xeon variants, so there are possibilities even on security appliances for this to be exploited.
The problem with this hidden CPU approach is that they can bypass the computer built security without the operating system noticing it, with potentially dangerous consequences. And we are updating our software regularly but the most of the people is not aware of the updating on the underlying things (if they can be updated). The lack of knowledge in this respect is a dangerous thing.
But what can be done?
A very few are careful enough on checking the internal hardware specifications on the networking devices, the ones could protect any not so well controlled hidden device inside our network. So, it is really important to learn more about what we really have and if it is possible to combine "different" layers of appliances. For example, not to rely only on Intel or only on AMD for both servers and security appliances, or even to combine x64 and x32 with ARM, MIPS or other type of CPUs. This way, if there is a breach because some architectural failure, the next layer won't suffer the same fate because it is different (not necessarily because it is better). This combination of suppliers is something it is already being recommended for antivirus on enterprise environments (don't trust only in one supplier).
On the other case, when knowing extra ports and other elements that nobody is actively controlling within our network, will be possible to understand better that maybe that "extra" traffic has a hardware and not a software origin.
Our modern environments are rich and powerful, but this richness doesn't come for free. We need to understand it and control it correctly.

Re:Sounds like bullshitThat description of the exam is more or less correct. Also worth pointing out that it's two parts. The first part is a written exam and you have to pass that before you can attempt the lab. You can read more about it here. That's specifically for the Routing and Switching exam (there are currently six different CCIE certifications). You have 18 months from passing the written to pass the lab. The lab itself is broken down into: "[...] a 2 hour Troubleshooting section, a 30 minute Diagnostic section, and a 5 hour and 30 minute Configuration section."
My instructor said he knew a guy (don't they all?) who had a CCIE and worked as an independent contractor making six figures for about six months of work a year.
It's easily possible to make six figures for six months of work, especially if this is gov contract work overseas or in other remote specialized environments.

Re:"Destroy ing innovation"
"the Presidential hopeful states the new law is necessary because the FCC's "burdensome" net neutrality rules are destroying innovation, diversity, and network investment."
Examples plz
There seem to be some problems.
Strict Net neutrality legislation would limit the terms, conditions, and potentially prices set by broadband Internet service providers. This could restrict their ability to use innovative network management technology, provide appropriate levels of quality of service, and deliver new features and services to meet evolving consumer needs.
Cisco believes that allowing the development of differentiated broadband products, with different service and content offerings, will enhance the broadband market for consumers.
Net Neutrality is a solution in search of a problem. The reader has probably not encountered much difficulty accessing even the smallest web sites. Big sites that deliver huge amounts of multimedia content with blistering speed pay extra for their performance, but this happily leaves ISPs with plenty of lower-cost extra bandwidth to sell. Net Neutrality would be movement, at gunpoint, away from efficient Internet capitalism, and into dreary online socialism. Imagine what would happen to Internet traffic if ISPs were required to treat obscure cat blogs the same way they handle Fox News, CNN and Netflix.
Net Neutrality would foul things up on the user end of the Internet experience, too. Most basic Internet services have some sort of usage cap, beyond which performance is automatically slowed down. The caps are very high, so average users are perfectly happy with this arrangement. Even cell phone users, with more aggressive usage caps than household cable or DSL access, rarely encounter their service limits. Those who desire more bandwidthâ"most commonly for downloading large amounts of multimedia content, like high-definition moviesâ"can pay extra to raise or remove their usage limits.
This kind of multi-tiered service is the reason cheaper, "lower-tiered" service exists at all. It would be silly to charge the same rate to an average home user who fiddles with email and Facebook for a couple of hours each day, versus a movie fanatic who wants to download a hundred high-def movies a month.
At worst, Net Neutrality would "redistribute" bandwidth, so that network hogs have no reason not to download everything in creation, at all hours. Meanwhile, those average users would be reduced to hammering their keyboards in frustration, and wondering why even simple everyday websites took several minutes to load. The past would become a bygone age of wonders.
Net Neutrality waivers
As always, vast power would accrue to those who control the "redistribution" of Internet bandwidth. It wouldn't be long before the first Net Neutrality waivers appeared, the same way ObamaCare is riddled with special exemptions for the politically connected. Like so much else in our centrally planned economy, Internet access would become a boon granted by politicians, rather than a commodity sold by businesses.
The proponents of Net Neutrality sell their agenda by inverting the language of freedom, warning darkly of evil ISPs "blocking" content from website proprietors if they don't pay a ransom. This is true in precisely the same sense that motorists who drive a Chevy Volt are "blocked' from driving as fast as a Porsche can. Net Neutrality "solves" this "problem" by outlawing Porsches . . . and spending taxpayer money on an army of regulators to ensure that every car dealership sells nothing but Volts.
Net Neutrality shares many attributes of the Left's other favored causes. It's steeped in anti-capitalist rhetoric, and d

Re:Teen driver checkup? yes please
I have a tracker on every device my family owns (that support it, anyway - all cells, tablets, laptops, desktops). My wife/kids are just as welcome to look up my location at any time (I tend to be in one of 3 places or commuting between, not very exciting) - the thing is, I have to have a reason to look up where a device is. I don't have (or want) logs; where it is now (or 'last seen') is plenty, but it has helped on multiple occasions where a device was misplaced (Beacon works great) or my wife was somewhere she couldn't hear her phone set to silent - I could see she was still there and not missing my call because she was in a wreck on the way home.
Non-consensual monitoring is wrong (except in some extreme cases with minors that I hope to never experience), also 3rd parties monitoring our whereabouts, but for me and my immediate family to be able to see where each other is (are? Some Grammar Nazi please correct me if wrong) at a glance as needed? I don't have a problem with it. I even use Waze when commuting so my wife knows when (typically within a 1-2 minute margin of error - better than I'd generally know in advance & I don't like to use the phone [other than GPS which is usually running with the screen off] while driving) I'll be home for dinner.
Oh, and I'm not the sort that uses Facebook/Twitter/whatever to broadcast every thing I do (or anything, I don't use any of those) - I'm privacy conscious, but my business (largely) is my family's business (and vice-versa). I think the trouble is when people don't view it as a 2-way street.
