Post Views: 907 Let’s say you are a CO Tech/Engineer or an enterprise network engineer that works with Voice over IP (VoIP). Let’s further say that there are issues with one or more users so you have done a bunch of packet captures, perhaps even used Wireshark’s Ring Buffer capability, and now you want to

Post Views: 2,088 Learning how to manually control Wi-Fi channels in Linux is a foundational skill for wireless troubleshooting and packet analysis. Proper channel selection is critical because Wi-Fi troubleshooting is highly dependent on capturing the correct RF environment at the correct moment in time. When combined with Wireshark, Linux monitor mode provides one of

Post Views: 4,706 OK – so this article is for entertainment of all us network nerds. Updated in 2026 As many already know, pretty much every year, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) releases humorous RFC’s – jokes. Usually these happen on or about April 1st to commemorate April Fools Day. Without doubt, some of

Post Views: 2,375 I have seen a bunch of posts about IP version 8 supplanting IPv6. Let’s sort this out a bit. I think a full listing of the IP version numbers is needed as a backdrop. The Internet Protocol (IP) has evolved through a sequence of versions during its research, testing, and operational deployment

Post Views: 815 Net neutrality is typically framed as a policy debate (see my background Net Neutrality post here), but its real implications are observable in packet-level behavior. For network engineers and broadband technicians, the question is not abstract: can you see evidence of blocking, throttling, or prioritization in a packet capture? To read more

Post Views: 1,338 Net neutrality in the United States has evolved through a cycle of regulatory assertion, legal limitation, reclassification, repeal, and attempted reinstatement. It is not a fixed policy but a dynamic framework shaped by the intersection of law, politics, and network engineering realities. At its core, the debate reflects a fundamental tension. On

Post Views: 1,919 This question was sent to me in an email following my posts on regarding TCP CUBIC. The answer is Yes—Microsoft Windows does support TCP CUBIC, but the nuance is in how and when it’s used. For many years, Windows defaulted to Compound TCP (CTCP) rather than CUBIC. Meanwhile, Linux distributions standardized on

Post Views: 1,312 I described what Adaptive Bit Rate Streaming (ABR) is in my prior article, if you need that background. Also there is an ABR Lab Exercise if you want some hands on learning with ABR that will show you visually some of the items discussed below. Here, I wanted to dive a little

Post Views: 1,484 Adaptive Bitrate Streaming (ABR) is a video delivery method that dynamically adjusts the quality of a stream in real time based on three things: network conditions, device capability, and player performance. Instead of delivering a single fixed-quality, and therefore fixed transfer rate video, ABR continuously selects the most appropriate bitrate to maintain
