Network Break 441: AWS Makes You Pay For IPv4; Superconductor Claims Meet Resistance; An Ultra Ethernet Q&A

Take a Network Break! This week we discuss new charges for IPv4 addresses being levied by AWS, Cisco’s acquisition of a BGP monitoring service, and financial results for a host of tech companies. We also speak with J Metz, the Steering Committee Chair of the Ultra Ethernet Consortium to learn more about the organization’s goals; and examine the efforts to investigate claims of a breakthrough in superconducting research. Get links to all these stories below. Sponsor: BackBox BackBox is a multi-vendor network automation platform that lets you automate every device on the network through a single pane of glass. It supports network and security devices from 180 different vendors. For example you can execute an OS upgrade across Cisco, Check Point, and Palo Alto firewalls with a single click.
