Network Break 367: New Custom ASICs For Juniper Routers; Regulators, NVIDIA Arm Wrestle

Take a Network Break! This week we begin with follow-up from last week’s episode, and then dive into news. We start with NVIDIA’s hope to acquire Arm, which is running into serious interference from regulators concerned about the implications for market competition. Then we discuss two new generations of custom router silicon from Juniper Networks, and examine a new service from LiveAction that looks for potential security problems in encrypted traffic–without the need to decrypt packets. Juniper Networks and Extreme Networks report financial results, and the United Kingdom floats the idea of a professional registry for security professionals. See all the links below.
