A More Wiretap-Friendly Web?




(The Hosting News) –

The U.S. government is hoping to make key internet services such as Google and Facebook more wiretap-friendly. According to a Washington Post report on Sunday, a government task force is helping craft legislation that would see fines imposed on providers that fail to comply with court-initiated wiretap requests.

Authorities have increasingly fallen behind the times in terms of technological development – something the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation has referred to as a “going dark” dilemma. The FBI commonly uses wiretaps to intercept criminal behavior pertaining to terrorism, financial fraud, underage pornography and more. Tech providers refusing to agree to wiretapping could face fines in the tens of thousands.

Meanwhile, if they’re unpaid after a 90 day period, they could double on a per-day basis. The initiative will, without a doubt, prove controversial among privacy rights experts who see the move as a potential threat to the stability of the Internet’s economy. “This proposal is a non-starter that would drive innovators overseas and cost American jobs,” commented Center for Democracy senior counsel Greg Nojeim in the Washington Post’s report.

It may not be the first time the U.S. government has looked into increasing wiretaps with tech provider, however. Previous changes to popular communications program Skype reportedly made it easier for law enforcement to gain access – albeit that remains speculation.

HP Calls Out Cisco With Data-Center Switches!



HP Calls Out Cisco With Data-Center Switches
April 30, 2013

As part of a truckload of data-center announcements it made Tuesday, Hewlett-Packard Co. is bringing out new switches that target the Cisco Systems Inc. Nexus line. It's part of what's sure to be a data-center frenzy leading up to Interop next week.

Brocade Communications Systems Inc. helped get the hype machine started Tuesday, with an announcement of its own. (See Brocade Spruces Up for Data Centers.) The star of HP's show, or at least the product with the biggest number, is the FlexFabric 12900 core switch, which can fit 768 10Gbit/s ports or 256 40Gbit/s ports.

Cisco's 18-slot Nexus 7018 claims to have the same 10Gbit/s density but only has cards to support 96 40Gbit/s ports. HP is also claiming the 12900 the first chassis-based switch to support OpenFlow 1.3, the latest version of the control-plane protocol. (Earlier in April, Noviflow laid claim to the first OpenFlow 1.3 switch in general, and for what it's worth, Ixia launched what it claims is the first OpenFlow 1.3 testing gear.

Throughout May, we'll expect to see as many "firsts" as there are product categories remaining.) HP is also launching the FlexFabric 11900, which is a new data-center switch for end-of-row or aggregation purposes, and the HSR 6800, which is a smaller switch meant to compete with the Cisco ASR 1000. The FlexFabric 12900 and 11900 are due to ship in October and June, respectively. The HSR 6800 is shipping now.

Other pieces announced by HP on Tuesday include:
•A new virtual switch, the 5900V, which is based on HP's 5900 top-of-rack switch
•The intelligent resilient fabric, which links two switches at different tiers of the network -- a core switch and an access switch, for instance -- so they can operate as one logical switch
•HP's first management app for software-defined networking (SDN), running on HP's Intelligent Managment Center (IMC; the term for the company's network management software). The app can automate the OpenFlow-based configuring of a switch, and it can be used to monitor the control layer. This lets the operator know when there's a failure, or when it's time to add more OpenFlow controllers.
