    Uhm. “A significant amount of infrastructure”? Uhhhm. Put a reverse proxy in front of your webserver? Problem solved? Or use log analyzers? With alerts?

    There is literally no excuse.

      I think he’s referring to certain enterprise switches and other networking gear that has basically zero support for automation.

      For me personally, I would be replacing that equipment but some businesses would rather pay a few hundred bucks every year + manpower to replace the certs than a few thousand once to replace the equipment.

        …you don’t need your networking gear to support this in any way

            The only network you’re likely to use that actually follows the OSI model is the CAN bus inside a car. And that’s starting to get replaced by DoIP, which uses the IP model (link layer, internet layer, transport layer, application layer, note the lack of session & presentation layers and combination of the physical & data-link layers into the link layer).
