Hi there,

---- The Technology Firm Mailer ----

Reading week.

In this email I thought I would share some pretty good articles I’ve read lately.

The Globe jotted down some of my ramblings and put it in the Globe and Mail in the article “Network nightmares and how to avoid them”.

Network Computing did a nice job on “Windows Stack Changes Boost Network Performance”

and
Crash Course: WLAN Spectrum Analysis

On my site I put together a 10 step process to get MRTG up and running and I updated my iperf notes http://thetechfirm.com/networking/networking.htm

I used the Fluke Networks Etherscope to see how well my DLink AP measures up as far as latency, throughput and loss goes http://thetechfirm.com/fluke_networks/etherscope/dlink_DI624_Reports/RFC2544.xml

I also had the pleasure of teaching Wiresharks’ first classes in Virginia and had a blast. If anyone wants to host or attend a class, you should contact
the folks at WiresharkU.
