Network Dictionary — Exemplar

The word exem­plar is a great word for Network Architects.

Exemplar is defined in the Oxford English Dictionary:

1. A pat­tern, model; a per­fect spe­ci­men (of some qual­ity); a per­son or thing to be imitated.

One part of the Network Architecture is to pro­duce Design Guides, or Design References or Implementation Templates or the like. But the titles are incred­ibly dull and tedious.

When I was at school, I had heard teach­ers someone as an exem­plary stu­dent because they were well behaved and stu­di­ous. Using the shorter term seems like a good use of the word.

• Firewall Rule Exemplar
• VPN Exemplar
• Switch Port Exemplar

Yep, I like that.
