Different network protocols have different functions and present varying security risks. This is why firewalls and other network security solutions are commonly configured with rules that apply to specific ports and protocols, such as restricting external access to certain services or looking for protocol-specific threats.

While redundancy is a significant contributor to network resilience, other mechanisms, protocols, and methods can also contribute to overall network resilience. Additional network resilience mechanisms Successfully routing a packet over the internet from its source to its destination is not trivial.

Registered Ports (1024-49151) : These ports are registered with the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) for specific applications but are not as universally recognized as well-known ports. TCP ports operate at the transport layer of the Internet Protocol Suite. What is Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)?

Similarly, slow networks can lead to painfully slow file transfers for large media files or CAD (computer-aided design). For example, the trombone effect (the inefficient backhauling of cloud bound traffic through a specific network endpoint) often meant MPLS connectivity to cloud assets was worse than standard Internet connections.

Caching techniques and protocol-specific optimizations minimize latency by reducing the number of application-layer exchanges that are necessary across the network. As a rule of thumb, Internet connections frequently experience 1 percent packet loss. Its expressed as a percentage of packets.

One key point, as revealed in Akamai’s Q3 2016 State of the Internet Security Report, is that the vast majority of DDoS attacks — over 98% — are focused on disrupting access to network or server infrastructure rather than on targeting application limitations or vulnerabilities.

The breadth of both our network and our customer base provides us with a unique perspective on Internet resilience, enabling us to observe the impact of Internet disruptions at both a local and national level, as well as at a network level. Violent storms and an earthquake predictably caused Internet outages in the affected countries.

Since the late 1990s, millions have relied on the Internet for searching, communicating, shopping, and working, though 2.6 billion people (about 31% of the global population ) still lack Internet access. Unsurprisingly, Google (including services like Google Maps and Google Calendar) remained the #1 Internet service in 2024.
