Your network today passes numerous protocols across its wires. These protocols are most commonly Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) in your Local Area Network (LAN), but most networks also have requirements for those that are less common (for example, AppleTalk and IPX) as well as others that are used for external routing (for example, BGP and EIGRP).
The goal of this five-part Reference Guide is to assist you with understanding and successfully employing the top 5 network management protocols. Building upon the very simplest in Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), this guide explores today's modern solutions for finding meaning in otherwise-impossible mounds of data.
