Fact: No one likes traffic congestion. Thanks to navigation apps on our phones and cars, we can see traffic updates that help us avoid busy roads during rush hour and reach our destinations faster. The same logic applies to content delivered over the Internet. Congestion on the web happens when data packets flood the network, causing delays and packet loss. ECN (Explicit Congestion Notification) introduces a more sophisticated approach to managing network congestion. It enables devices to communicate about network congestion without losing packets, as long as components in the path support ECN and the network infrastructure is compatible. In a world where low latency and high reliability are critical for applications like AR/VR, gaming, and autonomous vehicles, understanding ECN is essential. Learn everything you need to know: https://lnkd.in/gC2kmANX
ECN explained: Navigate congestion for faster, smoother data delivery

Why is this important? Visibility. This is the World's largest (and deepest) observability network, the only way to understand exactly how customers are experiencing your sites, how your workforce is experiencing the apps they need to do their job, and how applications are connecting with one another across the internet - with precise visibility each step of the way from the local router, through ISP, across the backbone, deep into your servers and into code. Not only for your apps but also for everything they depend on - usually dozens of APIs, third party code, services, and application components, plus DNS, CDNs, cloud providers, datacenters, connectivity, and so on - everything in the Internet Stack. Congratulations to internet professionals, who now have visibility into the internet across over 100 countries! #monitoring #observability #apm #ipm #internet #internetperformancemonitoring #digitalexperience

It's been a month exactly since we experienced the CrowdStrike incident but I think it is still worth discussing one important learning from it: the need for every organization to focus on technology resilience and consider hiring a Chief Resilience Officer. In this month since CrowdStrike, we have seen so many incidents (Azure, AWS, etc.) and we can pretty much expect a few ones per day. In fact, looking at the live outages map (https://lnkd.in/gGPv-WZv) , there is an ongoing incident with Bard, and we have seen incidents with Spotify, Google Docs, and ServiceNow - that's just today. As an industry, we need to get better. #cio #resilience #outages #internet #internetperformancemonitoring #uptime
The CrowdStrike Incident Makes one thing clear: the need for a Resilience Officer

Did you know a recent AWS micro-outage went completely unnoticed by many? While major outages make the headlines, micro-outages (smaller, localized incidents) can disrupt services and your users' experience without making it into the news or even a status page. Just this week, Catchpoint’s Internet Sonar detected a micro-outage at AWS, impacting multiple services across key regions. No official acknowledgment, but the consequences were real for those affected. Curious about what happened? We’ve broken down the details and key takeaways: https://lnkd.in/gpikAryR #outagenews #ipm #internetperformancemonitoring
