Domain Name System (DNS)
Domain Name System. System used in the Internet for translating names of network nodes into addresses.

Gateway Discovery Protocol (GDP)
The Gateway Discovery Protocol (GDP) allows hosts to dynamically detect the arrival of new routers as well as determine when a router goes down.

Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP)
The Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) provides network redundancy for IP networks, ensuring that user traffic immediately and transparently recovers from first hop failures in network edge devices or access circuits.

IP Service Level Agreements (IP SLAs)

Network Time Protocol (NTP)
NTP synchronizes timekeeping among a set of distributed time servers and clients. This synchronization allows events to be correlated when system logs are created and other time-specific events occur.

Service Assurance Agent (SAA)

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
The Simple Network Management Protocol(SNMP)is an application-layer protocol that facilitates the exchange of management information between network devices. It is part of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol suite.

Syslog

Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)
