We then determine the fastest carrier using Speed Score which incorporates a measure of each provider’s download and upload speed to rank network speed performance (90% of the final Speed Score is attributed to download speed and the remaining 10% to upload speed). The Speed Score uses a modified trimean to demonstrate the download and upload speeds that are available across a provider’s network. We take speeds from the 10th percentile, 50th percentile (also known as the median), and 90th percentile, and combine them in a weighted average using a 1:2:1 ratio, respectively. We place the most emphasis on the download speeds and median speeds as those represent what most network providers’ customers will experience on a day-to-day basis.

  • Cologix Torix Case Study
    Internet Exchange Case Study The Toronto Internet Exchange (TorIX) is the largest IX in Canada with more than 175 peering participants benefiting from lower network costs & faster speeds The non-profit Toronto Internet Exchange (TorIX) is a multi-connection point enabling members to use one hardwired connection to exchange traffic with 175+ members on the exchange. With peering participants swapping traffic with one another through direct connections, TorIX reduces transit times for local data exchange and cuts the significant costs of Internet bandwidth. The success of TorIX is underlined by its tremendous growth, exceeding 145 Gbps as one of the largest IXs in the world. TorIX is in Cologix’s data centre at 151 Front Street, Toronto’s carrier hotel and the country’s largest telecommunications hub in the heart of Toronto. TorIX members define their own routing protocols to dictate their traffic flow, experiencing faster speeds with their data packets crossing fewer hops between the point of origin and destination. Additionally, by keeping traffic local, Canadian data avoids international networks, easing concerns related to privacy and security. Above: In Dec. 2014, TorIX traffic peaked above 140 Gbps, with average traffic hovering around 90 Gbps.

  • Le Développement Des Startups En Contexte D'incertitude Et L'analyse
    1. Louvain School of Management (LSM) Le développement des startups en contexte d’incertitude et l’analyse de la prise de décision dans une équipe multiculturelle Mémoire à titre « Confidentiel » Mémoire-projet réalisé par Sara BARATA CARRILHO Promoteur Julie HERMANS Lecteur Malo BEGUIN Année académique 2017-2018 En vue de l’obtention du diplôme Master 120 en Sciences de gestion Chaussée de Binche, 151 - 7000 Mons, Belgique www.uclouvain.be/lsm Mémoire à titre confidentiel 2. RESUME Ayant vu le jour aux Etats, Unis, le terme « startup » n’existe pas depuis longtemps. Il ne s’est généralisé à l’international que depuis une grosse vingtaine d’année. Mais son statut de petite entreprise ne l’empêche pas de devoir faire face à son environnement interne et externe tout comme les multinationales. La recherche exploratoire suivante aura lieu d’analyser les particularités organisationnelles liées à la communication interne d’une jeune startup canadienne, intitulée Planhub, ainsi que de proposer quelques recommandations managériales pour aborder au mieux le contexte d’incertitude dans lequel elle se développe. Mots clés : contexte d’incertitude, dissidence stratégique, prise de parole, silence organisationnel, recommandations managériales. Mémoire à titre confidentiel 3. REMERCIEMENTS Je voudrais sincèrement remercier ma promotrice, Julie Hermans, qui a accepté de m’encadrer dans cette recherche exploratoire même à distance. Ses conseils et sa disponibilité m’ont été très précieux dans la réalisation de mon mémoire. Je tiens également à remercier l’équipe managériale de l’entreprise, qui a accepté de soumettre leur startup comme sujet d’étude, ainsi que le reste de l’équipe qui a pris le temps de répondre aux questionnaires individuels.

    Telecom Regulatory Policy CRTC 2021-239 PDF version Ottawa, 27 July 2021 References: 2019-420, 2019-420-1, 2019-420-2, and 2019-420-3 Public record: 1011-NOC2019-0420 Access to in-building wire in multi-dwelling units The Commission issues a number of determinations regarding access to in-building wire (IBW) in multi-dwelling units (MDUs), following a public proceeding initiated in Telecom Notice of Consultation 2019-420. The Commission finds that access to fibre IBW is not an essential service and will not be mandated. This finding is predicated on, among other things, the evidence that fibre IBW is duplicable. Further, having considered the relevant policy considerations and pursuant to its analysis under subsections 34(1) and 34(3) of the Telecommunications Act, the Commission forbears from regulating access to fibre IBW in all MDUs across Canada. Second, and consistent with earlier findings, the Commission modifies the MDU access condition regarding access to fibre IBW, so that a competitor’s choice to access end-users by means of reselling or leasing fibre IBW would not be mandated but rather subject to a commercial agreement being reached with the owner of the fibre IBW, and without a tariff being required. Under this modification, competitors still have the ability to access the MDU to install their own fibre IBW in an MDU under the MDU access condition. Third, the Commission extends the modified MDU access condition and associated obligations to all carrier Internet service providers (ISPs). All carrier ISPs are to have access to copper IBW on the same basis as local exchange carriers (LECs).

    Identifying Information Useful for Cyber-Attacks Against Canadian Critical Infrastructure in Online Discussion Forums by Noelle Warkentin BA (Honours), University of Manitoba, 2013 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the School of Criminology Faculty of Arts © Noelle Warkentin 2021 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Summer 2021 Copyright in this work is held by the author. Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Declaration of Committee Name: Noelle Warkentin Degree: Master of Arts Title: Identifying Information Useful for Cyber-Attacks Against Canadian Critical Infrastructure in Online Discussion Forums Committee: Chair: Sheri Fabian University Lecturer, School of Criminology Richard Frank Supervisor Associate Professor, School of Criminology Bryan Kinney Committee Member Associate Director, School of Criminology Aunshul Rege External Examiner Associate Professor, Department of Criminal Justice Temple University ii Abstract Critical infrastructures (CI) are connecting their systems to networks at an increasing rate, providing the opportunity for malicious actors to conduct cyber-attacks against these companies. In an attempt to understand the threats facing Canada’s CI, information collected from online discussion forums was analyzed to discover frequently targeted CI companies and locations in Canada, the types of information shared within these forums, and who the main authors are in sharing threat-related posts. After analyzing IP addresses collected from 20 online discussion forums, the province of Quebec was identified as a hot-spot for cyber-threats, while the information and technology sector was targeted most frequently among sectors. A thematic analysis of posts containing keywords revealed that information useful for conducting cyber-attacks against CI is being shared within these forums.
