MTBF MTTR MTTD

MTBF - Mean Time Between Failure/Incident
MTTR - Mean Time To Repair /Response
MTTF - Mean Time to Failure
MTTD - Mean Time to Detect/Diagnose

Metrics Used in Availability Management

There are a number of measures used to assess and report the performance of a service or component in respect of it being available.

Availability is defined as the ability of a service or component to perform its required function when needed. It is usually calculated as a percentage.
  
                   Availability = MTBF/(MTBF+MTTR)

 Reliability is a measure of how long a service or component can perform its required function without interruption. It is calculated using the metrics Mean Time between System Incidents & Mean Time to Restore Services.

Maintainability is a measure of how quickly a service or component can be restored to its working state after a failure.

Note: Availability, reliability and maintainability measures all need to include a time interval, typically hours.

Serviceability is a measure of a third-party provider’s ability to meet their contracted support commitments in terms of availability, reliability and maintainability.

 Failure : Any system that cannot meet minimum performance or availability requirements can be considered as failed.

Juniper SRX : Proxy ARP on Juniper SRX

Proxy ARP ( Address Resolution Protocol ) is a technique by which a intermediate network device like router replies to ARP request for a given IP address that is not part of local network.  The router acts as a proxy for the destination device to which the host wants to communicate and provides its own MAC address as the reply. Note: Proxy ARP can help devices on a network reach remote subnets without the need to configure routing or a default gateway. Disadvantages of Proxy ARP Proxy ARP can lead to security and performance issues on the network.  It poses a security risk by making the network vulnerable to ARP spoofinf attack. In attacks, malicious devices can impersonate proxies. Intercept or modify traffic between devices. It may introduce inconsistency into the network’s topology. Addressing scheme by concealing device locations and identities. Let see when and how proxy ARP is configured in Juniper by answering below questions which often comes to our mind ...
