* Networks with redundancy eliminate the problem of single points of failure. If a path or device fails, the redundant path or device can complete the process or transaction. Servers that handle transaction processes have an alternate path to receive or deliver traffic. This helps ensure that the application is available when the customer requests it. Network devices can also be configured for redundancy. Two common protocols are: Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) Hot Standby Routing Protocol (HSRP) The network designer analyzes the potential for the transaction data to be accessed inappropriately or altered. VPNs use a process called tunneling. Tunneling is often referred to as port forwarding. It is the transmission of data through a public network that is intended for a private network. Tunneling is accomplished by encapsulating the private network data and protocol information within the public network transmission units. Intrusion detection systems (IDS) are used to monitor network traffic for suspicious activity. If suspicious activity is detected, an IDS alerts the system or administrator. An IDS can be configured to block the user source IP address from accessing the network. Firewalls filter traffic based on a set of criteria. The complexity of the firewall configuration can cause delays. The potential impact of delays should be considered in the design of a network. ACLs can filter potentially harmful traffic that is trying to enter the network and block specific traffic from exiting the network. These access controls can slow the transaction process. The time-sensitive nature of some transactions should be considered when configuring ACLs. * Real-time Applications When designing the network to accommodate real-time applications, the network designer must consider how the network infrastructure will affect application performance. These considerations include the physical elements of the infrastructure: Hardware devices and connections Net
