Multiple vulnerabilities found in a VPN protocol used by most router vendors means that administrators are once again being advised to patch their network hardware, which is a far bigger issue than patching servers or desktops.
Cisco Systems plans to finally adopt a key Internet Protocol telephony standard, allowing the addition of new network-service features and enabling companies such as Microsoft to integrate their communications products with Cisco gear.
Networking giant Cisco has published a raft of security advisories as part of its biannual patch-release schedule.
The NSW Department of Commerce has awarded several contracts jointly worth more than AU$1 million as it continues a project to upgrade its extensive wide area network (WAN).

The Linksys WRT160N Wireless-N broadband router has consistent performance, good range, a helpful software application, and a good set of networking features. Its lack of gigabit and USB support are the only major knocks against it.
The Linksys WRT320N forces you to pick either the 2.4GHz or the 5GHz band for your wireless network. Given that, it's not an ideal choice for an environment with both types of wireless clients.
The AirPort Extreme Base Station is a great wireless router for Mac or novice users who need something that's simple, nice-looking and works well for their homes. Savvy and Windows users will find many other alternatives that offer a lot more features for their money.
Though it offers good maximum throughput, the Linksys WRT300N ultimately fails to do the new Draft N standard proud in both mixed-mode and long-range tests. Wait to see how the rest of the Draft N products fare.
