There is a unique vocabulary surrounding computers that leaves some people scratching their heads in wonder at the techno speak. No, I am not the president of the Hair Club for Men, but maybe I can help some of the follicle fallout, which comes from trying to make plain English out of the world of computer jargon. Starting this week, I will take a look at various computer terms and what they mean.  

The underlying technology powering the Internet is going through a major overhaul as IPv6 is slowly replacing the aging IPv4, the most widely used networking protocol. The adoption rate has been slow but more and more companies are implementing the new protocol. Google is already one of the biggest adopters and is now working on introducing support to its hugely popular video site YouTube.

YouTube is the IPv6 team's number one priority right now   -Erik Kline

 

One good way to provide accurate time and frequency synchronization is to use the IEEE's 1588 Precise Time Protocol (PTP). Particularly useful in non-deterministic networks like Ethernet, this technology offers major cost savings in time distribution since it can be deployed using hardware clocks and Ethernet local-area network (LAN) hubs, switches, and CAT5 cables. This standard also can make Carrier Ethernet practical.  

With the high cost of dioxin testing and the controversy that seems to accompany dioxin cleanup projects, North Coast agencies are looking for a way to pool resources and establish a dioxin sampling protocol. The workgroup, an idea hatched in 2006 after Humboldt Bay was listed as impaired by dioxins, is spearheaded by the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board and consists of several agencies concerned with the bay's health, including Humboldt Baykeeper and the city of Eureka.

IPv6 is the long-anticipated upgrade to the Internet's main communications protocol, known as IPv4. IPv6 features vastly more address space, built-in security and enhancements for streaming media and peer-to-peer applications. All carriers and enterprises must run IPv6 when IPv4 addresses are depleted , which is expected in 2012. Hurricane Electric claims to be the No. 1 IPv6 backbone in the world in terms of the number of IPv6 networks that it peers with and the number of IPv6 routes that it announces.

This rapid growth uniquely positions Hurricane Electric's network to be able to provide the best native IPv6 connectivity to our business partners in strategic locations all over the world   -Martin Levy

 

Standard Ethernet IEEE 802.3 networks and Harting Fast Track Switching help automation IT by giving automation priority over other Ethernet messaging, company says. Consistent use of standard Ethernet IEEE 802.3 networks helps automation IT. Genuine automation performance, such as deterministic data transport, is essential.  

Road projects should be implemented in a scientific manner by studying traffic movement in the proposed area over a period of time. The opinion of the residents of the locality also counts. Tenders should be called for and contracts should be awarded fairly considering the budget as well as the track record of the construction company.
