Routing determines how data moves between different networks, often using protocols like BGP or OSPF. Switching directs data within a single network, like connecting customer devices or linking fiber segments. Both are essential – but when misconfigured, they can disrupt service across entire regions.

If customers report inconsistent speeds, failed video calls, or trouble connecting to cloud apps, your firewall might be part of the problem. Overloaded or poorly tuned firewalls can create bottlenecks. ECG helps you analyze logs, inspect traffic flows, and optimize policies for performance and security.

Absolutely. We specialize in reverse engineering undocumented or poorly documented networks. Our team can build diagrams, trace device functions, and clarify configurations so you know exactly what you’re working with, especially during mergers or staff turnover.

Yes. ECG works across platforms like Cisco, Juniper, Fortinet, Ubiquiti, Palo Alto Networks, and many others. Unlike vendor reps, we’re not trying to sell you hardware – we help you get the most out of the equipment you already have.

Without proper alignment, traffic can loop, fail to fail over, or take suboptimal paths – all of which degrade performance. You may also see unexpected outages or poor SpeedTest scores. We identify and resolve these misalignments before they affect your customers.

Yes. As you grow, it’s critical to ensure routing, switching, and firewall rules scale with your architecture. We help you plan expansion, ensure performance is maintained, and support integration with legacy equipment or third-party providers.
