The Very Model of a Modern Network Architect

(computer, smirk)

The following was written by one of my clients who is involved in a project
to specify the architecture of his organization's data communications network
for then upcoming decade or so. 


I am the very model of a modern network architect,
I've information presentation, transport, session, Oh See Net,
I know about the X.400, X.500 Standard set,
I am the very model of a modern network architect.

I carry all the data via integrated LAN and WAN,
With gateways, bridges, routers I can form a Global Network plan,
And clients talk to all their servers end-to-end with seamless ease,
Assisted by creative use of APIs and RPCs.

Protection of the network I achieve with great security,
Through DES authentication I can send a message tamper-free,
I verify the user with a cryptographic public key.
And access to an object must be gained from my directory.

I run the system from an integrated single-window view,
And manage all financial transfers with a store-and-forward queue.
In short, the many network layers I apply to great effect,
I am the very model of a modern network architect.
