RTO
The recovery time objective, (RTO) is the duration of time and a service level within which a business process must be restored after a disaster in order to avoid unacceptable consequences associated with a break in continuity.
MTTR
The mean time to repair, (MTTR) measures the average time it takes to repair a network device when it breaks.
MTBF
The mean time between failures, (MTBF) measures the average time between when failures occur on a device.
RPO
The recovery point objective (RPO)is is the interval of time that might pass during a disruption before the quantity of data lost during that period exceeds the Business Continuity Plan’s maximum allowable threshold or tolerance.
LACP
The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) provides a method to control the bonding of several physical ports to form a single logical channel. The LACP is defined in the 802.3ad standard.
L2TP
The Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) is a tunneling protocol used to support virtual private networks (VPNs) or as part of the delivery of services by ISPs.
LLDP
The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a vendor-neutral link layer protocol used by network devices for advertising their identity, capabilities, and neighbors on an IEEE 802 local area network, principally wired Ethernet.
LDAP
The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an open, vendor-neutral, industry-standard application protocol for accessing and maintaining distributed directory information services over an Internet Protocol network.
SNMP Walk
SNMP Walk can be used to determine if the counter is using 32 bits or 64 bits by querying the OID of the endpoint (router interface).
PTP
PTP (Precision Time Protocol) is designed to provide highly accurate time synchronization for distributed systems, offering synchronization accuracy at the microsecond level. It is commonly used in applications such as industrial automation, telecommunications, and financial trading, where precise timing is critical for maintaining system integrity and performance.
NTS
NTS (Network Time Security) focuses on securing time synchronization communications but does not address latency and jitter concerns.
NTP
NTP (Network Time Protocol) is a widely used protocol for time synchronization but may not offer the same level of precision and low-latency synchronization as PTP.
SNTP
SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) is a simplified version of NTP that lacks some of the features for precise time synchronization found in PTP.
DoH
DNS over HTTPS (DoH) is designed to enhance privacy and security by encrypting DNS queries and responses, thus preventing external monitoring and potential interception by intermediaries. By using HTTPS, DoH ensures that DNS traffic is indistinguishable from regular HTTPS traffic, offering protection against eavesdropping and tampering. While DNS over TLS (DoT) also encrypts DNS queries and responses, DoH specifically leverages the HTTPS protocol, making it more adaptable for web browsing privacy.
DNSSEC
DNSSEC enhances the integrity and authenticity of DNS data but does not encrypt queries and responses, focusing instead on protecting against DNS spoofing attacks.
