Jay correctly understood that a more general-purpose firewall, the network firewall, would win that battle by embedding security directly into the network and applying inspection to all traffic, not just application traffic. The network firewall was initially met with skepticism and only visionaries like Jay saw the future.

Traditionally, Wide Area Networks (WANs) and network security were loosely coupled entities. Networking teams focussed on the connectivity between locations; security teams focussed on protecting against malware threats and other external or application-layer security issues.

The widespread adoption of Software-Defined Wide-Area-Network ( SD-WAN ) in recent years has caused many to wonder whether WAN optimization is still necessary. Network delay, or latency, defines how long packets take to travel from one designated point to another. The technologies are similar.

Rather, it is the mostly irrelevant distinction of application protocols such as HTTP, FTP, SSH and the like. This was a critical innovation at a time where vast amounts of traffic moved to the Internet (using ports 80/443), and the ability to apply controls at the port level, was insufficient.

At Network Kings, you will learn networking concepts (routing, switching, IP addressing) and basic network security fundamentalssuch as how to block websites and manage port numbers. Understanding the OSI model and routing protocols is crucial; because routing is the backbone of internet connectivity.

Weve been discussing the impact the dissolving perimeter has had on networking and IT. Rather than IT playing this kind of shell game on itself, IT should evaluate WAN architectures holistically and look at the quality of experience, availability, security, cost, agility, manageability, and extensibility of the network.

Easy and Rapid Configuration For years, WAN engineering has meant learning CLIs and scripts, mastering protocols like BGP, OSPF, PBR, and more. But for many companies, managing their networks in this way is too expensive and not very scalable. It was an arcane art and CCIEs were the master craftsman of the trade.
