Multi-Path TCP: revolutionizing connectivity, one path at a time

CloudFaire

As a result, Internet devices usually use a single path and let the routers handle the path selection. Enter Multi-Path TCP (MPTCP), which exploits the presence of multiple interfaces on a device, such as a mobile phone that has both Wi-Fi and cellular antennas, to achieve multi-path connectivity. There is another way.

Resilience and Redundancy in Networking

Kentik

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.

NetFlow vs. sFlow

Kentik

Flow-based network monitoring relies on collecting information about packet flows (i.e. a sequence of related packets) as they traverse routers, switches, load balancers, ADCs, network visibility switches, and other devices. IPFIX is an IETF standards-based protocol that is largely modeled on NetFlow v9. What is sFlow?
