Stuff my IT Guy Says

Network Routing

• Routers look at the destination IP Address (Level 3 OSI)
• TTL (Time to Live) prevents a packet from endlessly being tossed around unable to find its destination.
• Router will compare packet's destination IP Address to its router's route table.
• BGP is a route table maintenance protocol, not a routing protocol. It does not update fast or make good decisions about best route.
• Complexity is the enemy of reliability. How much redundancy do you need is the trick to a reliable network.

Network Secuirty

• UTMs are great for general security and easier to prove security standards compliance.
• Millions of connections need scalable solution that separate IPS, Firewall, IDS, and VPN appliances.

SNMP

• SNMP is a push pull system for device information.
• NAGIOS is an open source solution for managing devices via SNMP
