Funny discussion: What is the nightmare of network engineers?

Recently, on a well-known technology forum, there is a topic that has received the attention of many members, which are the situations in the work that make network engineers feel 'obsessed' most?After a heated debate, we also picked up some of the most typical situations that most of the brothers in the 'industry' are very afraid to face.Let's see what those specific situations are.

According to Jason Welcker, a network engineer who lives and works in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, what he feels most afraid to face in his job is 'protection for the network'.Specifically, you are the main responsible for basic traffic tasks for user applications on the network.When there are any problems with the application, your office will be the first place where customers come knocking on the door.Therefore, in this situation, in addition to professional knowledge, network engineers are prepared to have a good understanding of different protocols and services.If you are not sure about a service where the customer is having problems, be prepared to listen to complaints!

In addition, wireless connection problems can sometimes cause significant problems for network engineers.An obvious problem you might have here is that it is not possible to "see" the layer 1 connection (ie "cable plugging in / switching cables" is not a valid approach).Even if you are knowledgeable about spectrum, problems with traffic congestion, noise, potential 'complications' caused by the environment . You will still face numerous problems. about drivers from the client side.

Should also mention the problems of bandwidth and power.Sometimes bandwidth is something quite expensive (WANs, or internet in underdeveloped countries), but the demand for customers / servers is constantly increasing and can exceed the capacity. network capabilities.This always puts network engineers in passive situations.It is difficult to detect and solve problems with bandwidth and source.

In addition, it is also possible to draw other problems that make network engineers so depressed:

1. Never have enough ports.
2. Never have enough bandwidth.
3. You will never have the required number of antennas, the same thing will appear with the spectrum.
4. Control RF (Radio Frequency) is very difficult.

Above are some of the difficulties that network engineers in the world often face.What difficulties do you often encounter in your field?Please leave comments in the comment section below.Wish you success in the job you have chosen!
