Network Performance Daily: Vista’s “Next Generation” TCP/IP Stack and the Enterprise“When you have more efficient use of your network, you really need to take QoS into account. Vista’s ability to use centrally configured group-policies to push out policies to specific users or servers, and allows tagging of packets with the Diffserv code point values, so that our network infrastructure can see the marking and react to it in different ways – whether it’s VoIP traffic, or TCP/IP business critical traffic, or web-surfing traffic.” (Slashdot Commentary)
The IT Skeptic: Technology does not fix process
“If the process is broken technology is not going to fix it… If all the kids shun you at school, a HotWheels set is not going to change that. If you can’t get your people to write down what they changed, a shiny ‘Automated Application Dependency Mapping’ (or any of the other gadgets being peddled around the ITIL world right now) is not going to make any difference.”
Cisco administration 101: Configure GRE tunnels
“If this sounds like a virtual private network (VPN) to you, that’s because it theoretically is: Technically, a GRE tunnel is a type of a VPN-but it isn’t a secure tunneling method. However, you can encrypt GRE with an encryption protocol such as IPSec to form a secure VPN.”
