On May 27 of this year, Gartner Research Director Sanjit Ganguli released a research note titled “Network Performance Monitoring Tools Leave Gaps in Cloud Monitoring.” You’d put a few others — I emphasize “few” because these appliances were and are not cheap — at other major choke points in and out of the network.

TCP/IP stack is a conceptual model consisting of network communication protocols. It provides end-to-end data communication. It specifies how data should be packetized, addressed, transmitted, and routed across the network. TCP/IP stack has four layers Application, Transport, Internet, and Network Interface.

Meta is deploying a timing protocol, Precision Time Protocol (PTP) , that will offer new levels of accuracy and precision to our networks and data centers. We believe PTP will become the global standard for keeping time in computer networks. After a successful pilot, we’ve started extending PTP into all our data centers.

Intel has developed and sold classic Ethernet Network Interface Cards (NICs) for a long time, but many might not be as familiar with their product offerings in the SmartNIC and more advanced NIC categories. My participation in Network Field Day, a Tech Field Day event, was voluntary and I was invited to participate.

You may still use monitoring appliances in your private/on-prem data centers, but how will you see the other side of the world (your footprints in public clouds)? Many network operators now want to promote cloud-native architecture when migrating to the public cloud to fully leverage the cloud’s benefits. over VPNs, ?

Corporate IT networks are rapidly changing. The company managed its own data centers, and employees were primarily connected directly to the corporate LAN. Within the last several years, the corporate network has undergone significant changes. As corporate IT environments change, so do their security needs.

PTP’s predecessor, Network Time Protocol (NTP) , provided us with millisecond precision, but as we scale to more advanced systems on our way to building the next computing platform, the metaverse and AI, we need to ensure that our servers are keeping time as accurately and precisely as possible. The PTP architecture Regional PTP architecture.
