Successful protocol analysis in modern network structures

Hunting the Invisible

Conclusions

Virtual networks and server structures require additional mechanisms to ensure visibility of the data streams. It makes no difference whether the virtual machines are implemented on one physical host or distributed across multiple physical hosts – the data streams can no longer be captured for monitoring, analysis, or control. To ensure successful monitoring, it is important to correlate events at the physical and logical level. This task can be handled by a visibility structure that, at the same time, gives the IT department access to critical information.

  • GENEVE network tunneling protocol
    LAN data transmission has evolved from the original IEEE 802.3 standard to virtual extensible LAN (VXLAN) technology and finally to today's Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation (GENEVE) tunneling protocol, which offers improved flexibility and scalability, although it still faces some issues. We look at the three technologies and their areas of application.
  • Moving Data Between Virtual Machines
    Network information in virtualized computer landscapes is not easy to access. In this article, we look at a few approaches you can use.
  • Virtual networks with Hyper-V in Windows Server 2016
    Microsoft provides some interesting virtualization features in current and future versions of Windows Server. You can connect or isolate virtual machines, and Windows Server 2016 even supports virtual switches.
  • Network overlay with VXLAN
    VXLAN addresses the need for overlay networks within virtualized data centers accommodating multiple tenants.
  • Segmenting networks with VLANs
    Network virtualization takes very different approaches at the software and hardware levels to divide or group network resources into logical units independent of the physical layer. It is typically a matter of implementing secure strategies. We show the technical underpinnings of VLANs.
