As discussed in the previous section, our forward-looking payment processing vendors deployed their servers in on-premise data centers, instead of the cloud, to ensure that they have total control over data storage and transfer. Vendor’s data centers have private links to their own routers which are set up in AWS Direct Connect Locations.

Service insertion refers to the adding of networking services, such as firewalls or load balancers, into the forwarding path of traffic. When users are in VLAN 1, for example, they can readily access the servers in VLAN 1. Virtual route forwarding (VRF) is typically enabled with a VRF for one side of the router (Subnet.#1

Back in the 1990s, NetFlow was introduced on Cisco routers as a means to collect information about IP network traffic as it enters or exits an interface. If you are thinking that those represent HTTP and HTTPS, you would be largely correct, but that doesn’t mean it’s traffic involving web servers. How did this happen?

[I'm unsure whether this should be posted on Network Engineering, Server Faults or Android Enthusiasts] We have a hotspot service that connects into MikroTik routers, using the built-in hotspot facility. From a networking point of view, DNS is functional and there are no firewall entries that can restrict the traffic.

Port mirroring Another method for gathering traffic telemetry is port mirroring, which replicates (mirrors) the network traffic on a switch or router to a monitoring device. Software probes Software probes are programs that can be installed on servers or network devices to collect data on network traffic.

Higher level abstractions For another level of abstraction, open source tools have emerged, such as Cilium , which runs as an agent in container pods or on servers. Second, in a busy network, devices such as routers, switches, and firewalls may be very busy operating at a relatively high CPU.

The spread of massive ransomware outbreaks, such as NotPetya , made firewalling particularly important. Routers at every store directed point-of-sale (POS) traffic across the IPsec VPN to firewalls in the company’s Singapore datacenter housing its POS servers.

Routers forward these packets from source to destination and data encapsulation enables the data to traverse the TCP/IP stack. However, since many firewalls block ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) and it has a low priority, ping isnt always enough. Common causes of packet loss include: Routers with heavy CPU load.

At the core of NFV is the notion that network functions, such as SD-WAN , firewalling and secure web access, can be delivered as virtual appliances and run either on premises (vCPE) or at the carrier core data centers (hosted). Some VNFs, such as routers and SD-WAN, consume relatively few resources.

One option is to run standalone virtual services as individual virtual CPE (vCPEs) on physical appliances, such as routers or servers. Routing functions tend to run in, well, routers, firewall functions tend to run in firewalls. The other option? Run them as shared, multi-tenant, cloud-resident services.

Its expensive and time-consuming for an engineer to visit branch locations around the globe to install firewalls and routers.
