As most of you know, this value is used for avoiding endless looping in the internet routing hierarchy, but I'm wondering what's the minimal value which is to be used? The first layer is the edge of the internet (connected to the internet gateways), hence those routers typically are called "edge routers".

Think about what information you’ll need to find out which EC2 instance hogged a VPN connection or what service drove up costs on your NAT gateways, and so on. While setting up global VPC Flow Logs takes just a few minutes, building logs that only capture inter-VPC flow and internet flows can take a bit more time and thought.

The truth is, designing a network that can withstand the test of time, traffic, and potential disasters is a challenging feat. That’s where network resiliency and redundancy come into play, helping network planners construct robust and efficient networks. But do we always need 100% redundancy to achieve resilience?

When more of the workforce shifts to working remotely, it puts new and different strains on the infrastructure across different parts of the network, especially where VPN gateways connect to the network edge. This could mean the users are saturating the internet connectivity or that they’ve saturated the LAN (or maybe WAN).
