We are excited to announce Tachyon Dynamics is now a Silver Sponsor for the North American IPv6 Summit. This summit has turned out to be the largest collection of IPv6 experts, vendors and enthusiasts in North America – we would argue the world. So much great and new content will be talked about this year […]

I was fortunate to present my take on IPv6 for the home user. I’ll embed the PowerPoint slides here below. On November 20th, I was asked to give an IPv6 presentation for the D.C Cyber Security Professionals Meet Up Group. We didn’t have a very good turn out, but I was able to focus on

We are happy to announce that Tachyon Dynamics is the first provider of a speed test (again), on Ookla’s www.speedtest.net, in the Southern Virginia/Tidewater area. We can offer internet speed tests of up to 100 Mbps. Happy testing! We had ISP throttling issues last year so we had to temporarily suspend the testing service. We

We had a great time at the North American IPv6 Summit last week. I recommend everyone check out the virtual downloads and sessions, as there was so much great content this year. Most of this year’s excitement is how IPv6 intersects with things like Software Defined Networking (SDN), OpenStack, Whitebox networking, and Network Functions Virtualization

A few weeks ago, the IETF updated the newest in a long line of what I like to call “IPv6 capitulations.” Going on a rant here – the IETF fought long and hard to have a robust, secure, and interoperable protocol with IPv6. This is one of the many examples where it is being systematically

The key to any secure network in stopping 100% of UDP-based DNS amplification DDoS attacks is simple: follow BCP38. You ask, “but it’s 2014, and BCP38 came out in 2000, why bring it up?” Well, simply not enough networks are following the Best Common Practice. Why I Bring Up BCP38 This last week saw the

Speaking with quite a few network engineers in the last few months, I was shocked by the lack of real understanding of the Domain Naming System (DNS). It shocked me because it is the singular application functionality that is entirely network-based. Meaning that DNS is the foundation of the Internet, and from their perspective, should

Bottom line up front: Cisco has a broken implementation of OSPFv3 authentication. This story begins like many do with network engineers trying to do their best in implementing IPv6 after a thorough and exhaustive engineering exercise. Cisco’s Aggregation Services Router (ASR) routing platform running IOS-XE, starting with version 3.1.0 until the most recent 3.09.02 S,
