What is considered good application performance?
http://www.networkworld.com/nlnetop153845 Like beauty is in the
eye of the beholder, optimal application performance is in the
experience of the end user. It's a subjective matter that can
bewilder network managers trying to ensure every app performs as
its end users expect.
Social networking at the branch
http://www.networkworld.com/nlnetop153846 Social networking
sites, such as Facebook, Linked In, MySpace, and others, present
numerous opportunities and oddities to employees -- particularly
those at branch offices. Each site has its own special sauce to
help people stay connected and learn more about one another,
either by probing into their comments, viewing photos and
videos, or reading their profiles.
'Net neutrality: Just the facts please
http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/31015 The
Comcast/BitTorrent saga got us thinking that the current chapter
of the 'net neutrality debate is playing out in the absence of
the one thing that will lead us down a sensible path -- facts.

Pimp your apps http://www.networkworld.com/nlnetop145577 Tools
for speeding sluggish applications traditionally are of two
types: application-delivery controllers designed to ease the
load on Web servers, and WAN optimization devices aimed at
mitigating network latency and bandwidth constraints. Some say
it's time for these two to consolidate.
LIVE CHAT: Twitter, forums, and blogs: Are social networks your

middle of the controversy. Curt Monash will be available to
answer your questions in a live chat onTuesday Aug. 19from 2
p.m. to 3 p.m. EST.
