Yes, there’s something to say about how applications are written, but on the public internet side, we’ve seen a decrease in latency, cost, and a massive increase in available bandwidth. Today, engineers are dealing with an SD-WAN controller , a centralized CASB interface, and cloud-based network services like DNS and user authentication.

Not as difficult as time travel, but it’s difficult enough so that for 30+ years IT professionals have tried to skirt the issue by adding more bandwidth between locations or by rolling out faster routers and switches. Over the last few decades network managers have focused on adding bandwidth and reducing the network outages.

Why is my bandwidth bill so high? What users and applications are consuming my network bandwidth? The (typically static) configuration data representing the operating intent for all configurable network elements such as addresses, ID’s, ACLs, topology info, location data, even device details such as hardware and software versions.

This is sort of a long shot, but are you using a corporate DNS server? You might try temporarily switching to a public DNS like Google’s 8.8.8.8. DNS lookups can introduce significant latency on new connections. Shut them down and try working with my SaaS application after making some or all of the above changes.

By collecting and analyzing network telemetry, including traffic flows, bandwidth usage, packet loss rates, and error rates, NetOps leverage monitoring to detect and diagnose potential bottlenecks, security threats, and other issues that can impact network reliability, often before end users even notice a problem.

Cyberthreat strategies have evolved in step with modern cloud networks, often using cheap, virtualized cloud resources to exploit the threat surface topology I briefly described above. These attacks aim to overwhelm a service’s bandwidth capabilities with prohibitively high traffic volumes. Protocol-based.

Youve been told to cut costs Its no secret that MPLS circuits cost a fortune often 3-4x the price of MPLS alternatives (like SD-WAN,) for only a fraction of the bandwidth. Get crystal clear on your WAN challenges: Do any of these challenges sound familiar? But the bottom line isnt the only factor to take into consideration.
