Network engineers, on the surface, are just "technical laborers" who build, optimize, and troubleshoot networks, but in reality, we are the "first line of defense" in cybersecurity. A 2024 CrowdStrike report showed that global cyberattacks increased by 30%, with Chinese ...
Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is like the scout in the network, the core function is to find the intrusion behavior and send an alarm. By monitoring network traffic or host behavior in real time, it compares the preset "attack signature library" (such as known virus c...
To discuss VXLAN gateways, we must first discuss VXLAN itself. Recall that traditional VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) use 12-bit VLAN IDs to divide networks, supporting up to 4096 logical networks. This works fine for small networks, but in modern data centers, with...
Driven by digital transformation, enterprise networks are no longer simply "a few cables connecting computers." With the proliferation of IoT devices, the migration of services to the cloud, and the increasing adoption of remote work, network traffic has exploded, like t...
TAPs (Test Access Points), also known as also known as Replication Tap, Aggregation Tap, Active Tap, Copper Tap, Ethernet Tap, Optical Tap, Physical Tap, etc. Taps are a popular method for acquiring network data. They provide comprehensive visibility into network data fl...
In today's digital age, Network Traffic Analysis and Network Traffic Capturing/Collection have become the key technologies to ensure Network Performance and Security. This article will dive into these two areas to help you understand their importance and use cases, and i...
Introduction
We all know the principle of classification and non-classification principle of IP and its application in network communication. IP fragmentation and reassembling is a key mechanism in the process of packet transmission. When the size of a packet exceeds the...
Security is no longer an option, but a required course for every Internet technology practitioner. HTTP, HTTPS, SSL, TLS - Do you really understand what's going on behind the scenes? In this article, we will explain the core logic of modern encrypted communication protoc...
In today's complex, high-speed, and often encrypted network environments, achieving comprehensive visibility is paramount for security, performance monitoring, and compliance. Network Packet Brokers (NPBs) have evolved from simple TAP aggregators into sophisticated, inte...
In modern network architecture, VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) and VXLAN (Virtual Extended Local Area Network) are the two most common network virtualization technologies. They may seem similar, but there are actually a number of key differences.
VLAN (Virtual Local...
The main difference between capturing packets using Network TAP and SPAN ports.
Port Mirroring (also known as SPAN)
Network Tap (also known as Replication Tap, Aggregation Tap, Active Tap, Copper Tap, Ethernet Tap, etc.) TAP (Terminal Access Point) is a fully passive har...
