In part 2 of this series, I talked about the range of network devices and observation points that generate telemetry data. Over time, this range has expanded, and networks are more diverse than ever. Why is my bandwidth bill so high? What users and applications are consuming my network bandwidth? Telemetry Types.

The fifth generation of wireless technology, more commonly being referred to as 5G, is marching towards commercialization. Performance is a key driver behind the movement, with 5G enabling: Greater throughput -- mobile broadband with bandwidth ranging from 50 Mbps to 10 Gbps. Lower latency -- ultra-low latency down to 1 millisecond.

What do network engineers working in the trenches, slinging packets, untangling coils of fiber, and spending too much time in the hot aisle really want from all their efforts? They want a rock-solid, reliable, stable network that doesn’t keep them awake at night and ensures great application performance. The answer is simple.

One of the biggest debates in SD-WANs is the use of Internet-based broadband versus a private network. For small businesses that have regional networks, broadband is likely sufficient. The first and most obvious risk is quality, particularly for real-time and bandwidth-intensive applications. Inconsistent bandwidth speeds.

If you're using a workplace network, your network administrator might require you to use a strong password. In wireless networking, a WiFi Protected Access (WPA) security key supports the use of a passphrase. When you create a password or passphrase, you should make it strong, which means it's difficult to guess or crack.
