How does Lightcast define a skill?
Open vSwitch (OVS) is a software-based, virtual switch designed to enable efficient network virtualization on multi-server environments. It is an open-source network switch that can perform the functions of traditional hardware switches, routers, firewalls, load balancers, VPNs, and others in a virtualized environment. OVS is popular for its flexibility, high performance, and advanced features that enable network traffic control, monitoring, and management in cloud and data center environments. As a specialized skill, proficiency in installing, configuring, and managing OVS requires knowledge in networking, virtualization, and Linux system administration.
OpenFlow is a protocol used in Software-Defined Networking (SDN) that enables centralized programming and control of network devices, allowing network administrators to manage network traffic and optimize network performance. It separates the data and control planes of a network, making it more flexible and agile, and allows for greater customization and innovation in network design. Understanding OpenFlow requires knowledge of network programming, SDN concepts, and familiarity with OpenFlow-enabled network devices.
OpenWrt is an open-source operating system designed for routers and other network devices. It allows users to customize and configure their network devices to suit their specific needs, and supports a wide range of hardware and protocols. It is highly flexible and modular, making it a popular choice for network enthusiasts and professionals.
Protocol Stack is a technical skill that involves understanding how different communication protocols work together to enable the exchange of data between devices in a computer network. It requires expertise in various layers of the network stack, including physical, data link, network, transport, session, presentation, and application layers. A deep understanding of this skill is essential for network engineers, software developers, and other IT professionals who design, build, and troubleshoot communication networks.
Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is a reliable transport protocol used for transmitting data over IP networks. It was designed to provide several improvements over traditional transport protocols such as Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP), such as support for multiple streams, error detection, congestion control, and ordered delivery of data. SCTP is often used for applications that require high availability, such as telecommunications networks and financial transactions systems. Being skilled in SCTP involves a deep understanding of the protocol's workings, including the mechanisms for flow and congestion control, message fragmentation, and error handling.
