A lot of “fine-tuning” is required in today’s networks. Enterprise and government IT experts must be keenly aware of what’s going on with the various application-specific issues when routing through the network. Some of the latest issues in today’s networks include:

· VPN tunnels – they have a low tolerance for byte size, MTU size, and fragmentation – knowing what and where to tweak these values is essential for an enterprise VPN network to work well!
· VoIP designs must drive toward the highest QoS and security standards. VoIP is not plug-and-play!
· Network routing should adhere to the fastest possible failover and failover recovery. With the advent of multiple data centers and/or multiple disaster recovery sites, an optimized network routing design is absolutely essential in today’s world.

Putting “all of the above” together not only requires top experts with experience, it also requires these experts to stay current on the flood of new networking technologies. Of course, this is where we come in.
