The Internet's Space Shortage
The Internet often seems like a limitless landscape, connecting billions of hyperactive endpoints, with more added by the minute. But ask some of the engineers quietly working to keep those billions of nodes seamlessly connected and they'll tell you the Internet is far from infinite. In fact, it may be starting to get a bit crowded.

Rising use of Internet challenges its capacity
Caution: Heavy Internet traffic ahead. Delays possible. For months there has been a rising chorus of alarm about the surging growth in the amount of data flying across the Internet. The threat, according to some industry groups, analysts and researchers, stems mainly from the increasing visual richness of online communications and entertainment — video clips and movies, social networks and multiplayer games. Moving images, far more than words or sounds, are hefty rivers of digital bits passing through the Internet's pipes and gateways, requiring, in industry parlance, more bandwidth. Last year, by one estimate, the video site YouTube, owned by Google, consumed as much bandwidth as the entire Internet did in 2000.

The Internet Traffic Challenge: The Policy Dimension
... "You can't deal with the future of American competitiveness and economic health without a broadband policy," said Mr. Irving, co-chairman of the Internet Innovation Alliance, a coalitition of nonprofits and corporations, including telecom carriers and equipment makers. "The reality is that carriers, Web companies, media content providers and consumers are all going to have to pay a bit more."

Global Service Provider Identity (SPID): Licensing the Internet? by Brenden Kuerbis
A briefing last month to House and Senate members and staff of the Homeland Security Committee by VeriSign’s Vice President for Regulatory Affairs and Standards, the recent chair of the NRC’s Committee on Improving Cybersecurity Research in the US, and a former Chief Scientist of the FCC, raises some interesting questions and concerns about governance, competition policy, and civil liberties. In the joint presentation on international and domestic defenses against cyber attacks and supporting documents, VeriSign’s Tony Rutkowski argued that, “the widespread deployment of wireless platforms, Internet Protocol networks, and application-based services – combined with a government switch from common carrier to information services regulation by imposing only minimal public network service mandates – has produced some significant “cybersecurity” vulnerabilities.”

The Net Crash!
A few days ago I came across an article that talked about the future of the internet. The substance of the article, was embodied in the theory that possibly the internet at this current level of annual expansion (50%) will not be able to sustain itself. The increase in the users and in the amount of data transfered is mind-boggling, and depending on what spectrum of the net argument one situates himself into, the belief is that the net will crash soon, or that massive investments into its capital infrastructure will perhaps save one of the most drastic revolutionary tool that has been a source of new wealth for last 15 years or so. The question that eludes many and has been a source of conflict namely who controls this trivial thing called the internet?! The answer is, believe it or not an NGO called ICANN based in California!

The trouble with new security rules or practices is that they’re mostly aimed at cracking down on abusers, but only the good guys follow them. That’s the quandary with stamping out DNS abuse by the more sophisticated bot herders who use fast-flux and double-flux technology to evade detection.

Besides Cisco, Google for instance uses DKIM for its Gmail accounts. Yahoo uses the protocol to a limited extent. ... This awarding practice is now however coming under heavy fire from ICANN.

Have People Stopped Clicking on Google Ads?Or did a Web-traffic firm get the numbers wrong?
On the morning of Feb. 26, the investment firm Bear Stearns sent out an alert about some unwelcome news for Google. According to comScore, a leading Web-analytics company, the company's domestic paid clicks—that is, the number of times people in the United States clicked on a Google ad—were down 0.3 percent compared to last year and down 12 percent since October. By 7:16 a.m., former tech-securities analyst (and Slate contributor) Henry Blodget reported the news on Silicon Alley Insider under the headline "Google Disaster." As news of the comScore report circulated, Google got killed on Wall Street: The stock opened the day down $25 a share and continued to fall, sinking to an 11-month low of $464.19 before staging a modest comeback.

Netz ohne IPv4 – nicht viele Möglichkeiten zum Ausgehen [Update]
Wie sieht das Netz durch eine IPv6-Brille aus? Aktuell noch recht finster. Das ist das Ergebnis der IPv4-Abschaltung bei der Konferenz der Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in Philadelphia vergangene Woche. Gerade mal 750 Domains erreichten die IETF-Besucher im Netz innerhalb der Stunde. Der Datenverkehr auf dem von Comcast eingerichteten 100 Gbps-Konferenznetz sank von 30 Mbps auf 3 Mbps. Zwar ließen sich erstaunlich viele Betriebssysteme auf ein reines IPv6-Netzwerk bringen, sagte der deutsche IPv6-Experte Hans-Peter Dittler nach dem Test. "Allerdings bleiben erschreckend wenig Plätze übrig, wo man hingehen kann."

Auch im Internet werden die Namen bekannter Unternehmen oder ihrer Produkte zunehmend bei der Registrierung von Domains als Teil des Domainnamen genutzt. Dieses Cybersquatting genannte Treiben verstößt gegen das Markenrecht und nimmt rapide zu. Auch die Erstellung gefälschter Webseiten, Phishing genannt, findet unter anderem auch in Deutschland auf einer breiten Basis statt. Der "Brandjacking Index Winter 2007" des im Markenschutz tätigen US-Unternehmens MarkMonitor hat rückblickend die Trends bei Markenmissbrauch und Phishing im Jahr 2007 aufgelistet.

Manche Entwickler finden es einen fürchterlichen Hack, andere halten die Idee für brillant: Eine zufällige Verteilung von Groß- und Kleinbuchstaben im ID-Teil von DNS-Serveranfragen soll Attacken auf die Server weiter erschweren. Den Vorschlag machte Paul Vixie, Entwickler des sehr weit verbreiteten DNS-Servers BIND, bei der 71. IETF-Tagung in Philadelphia. Es ist nicht der einzige Vorschlag zur weiteren Absicherung gegen Spoofing und Cache-Poisoning-Angriffe auf Server im Domain Name System (DNS).

Onderzoek SIDN naar landrush numerieke domeinnamen in afrondende fase [news release]
SIDN, de .nl registry, heeft op 28 en 29 februari de landrush voor numerieke domeinnamen georganiseerd. Van de meer dan 500 deelnemers die aan de landrush hebben meegedaan, heeft een aantal een klacht ingediend bij SIDN over het registratiegedrag van enkele deelnemers en de bereikbaarheid tijdens de landrush. Naar aanleiding daarvan is SIDN uiteraard een intern onderzoek gestart naar het werkelijke verloop en feitelijke uitkomsten van de landrush. Ook zijn wij een evaluatie gestart van de landrush onder onze tussenpersonen, waarin inmiddels meer dan 100 deelnemers hebben geparticipeerd. Het feitenonderzoek en de evaluatie worden deze week afgerond en de resultaten daarvan zullen volgende week worden gepubliceerd.
