The world's largest contract manufacturer of phones, Foxconn is planning to expand its operations locally next year. Company has already made $600 million investments in India. Soon after Indian PM Narendra Modi’s ‘Make in India’ initiative was successful, many phonemakers from China started making phones in India through Foxconn.

"Since last year, we have restarted operations and right now we're in finalizing 2017 plan, there will be more expansion,” Foxconn's head of India operations Josh Foulger told The Economic Times.

He added that Finnish giant Nokia, which is preparing for its come back, will also be made by Foxconn. The company along with HMD Global had bought Nokia's brand license and feature phones business from Microsoft earlier this year.

India, from a manufacturing standpoint, has logistic advantage, not just for India but for Middle East and Africa. The ASP of products is very similar. If you look at making India a manufacturing destination for 800 million phones, it looks very attractive, Josh Foulger further said. "India cost is competitive. It takes time but if managed well, it can bring results"

Reliance Jio is the slowest 4G service in India: TRAI

After the mega launch of the much-awaited Reliance Jio early this year, everything is not going great for the telecom giant. While E-Commerce company Shopclues tried solving the problem of unavailability of the sim card, there are new issues cropping up which can’t be solved that easily.

Infrastructure support was always a big concern right from the launch of Jio when the network provider was boasting of providing an extremely high-data speed to the users. With a massive increase in the user base, there was a drop in the speed after the launch. And over time it kept going southwards.

While Airtel 4G users experience an average download speed of 11.4Mbps, Jio 4G users manage to get only 6.2 Mbps download speed.

How To Find The Proper MTU Size For My Network

Follow @mithileshpandey

Summary

One of the easy and most accurate ways to test for optimum MTU (maximum Transfer Unit) is to do a simple Ping test. You will simply send out ping requests and progressively lower your packet size until the packet no longer needs to be fragmented. Although this simple test is accurate for testing end points, users may find that a lower MTU may be better for their particular circumstances.

Finding the Correct MTU

The command for this ping test is ping 8.8.8.8 -f -l xxxx.
•You can use any well known, pingable domain like ping www.google.com -f -l xxxx in place of 8.8.8.8 for the test.
•There is a single space between each command.
•"-l" is a lower case letter L, not the number one.
•The last four numbers are the test packet size.

Step 1

At the DOS Prompt type in ping 8.8.8.8 -f -l 1500 and hit Enter. Notice that the packet needs to be
fragmented. (Figure 1)

 Step 2

Drop the test packet size down (28 bytes in my case) and test again. Notice that the packet still needs to be fragmented. (Figure 2)

Now take the maximum packet size from the ping test and add 28. You add 28 bytes because 20 bytes are reserved for the IP header and 8 bytes must be allocated for the ICMP Echo Request header.
Remember: You must add 28 to your results from the ping test!

An example:
1) 1472 Max packet size from Ping Test result,
2) + 28 IP and ICMP headers
3) 1500 is your optimum MTU Setting.
