Application Monitoring with NetFlow Analysis
sFlow and NetFlow analysis is a way to gather network information previously only available by using a protocol analyser or hardware solution.
NetFlow monitoring is achieved without using agents or probes. NetFlow was developed and patented at Cisco Systems in 1996.
sFlow is an industry standard with interoperable implementations provided by a wide range of network equipment and software application vendors.
NetFlow is now the primary network accounting technology in the industry. NetFlow analysis answers questions regarding IP traffic:
who, what, where, when, and how. A NetFlow analyser gives a detailed view of network behaviour.
| Label applications for reporting |
| Scrutinizer lets users define applications using ranges of protocols. View the Application Groups and drill in for the individual protocols and conversation pairs - a picture is worth a thousand words. |
| Traffic Analysis |
| View top level utilization information see the amount of traffic being generated through specific interfaces of a router. Interfaces are color coded according to their percent utilized. Helps to give a quick visualization of which routed ports are most congested. |
| Analyse traffic used by VoIP related services |
| How much voice traffic is historically on the connection. What devices are involved with the most VoIP traffic. The possible call volume that should be supported through the connection. All VoIP vendors supported: Asterisk, Cisco, Nortel, Avaya, etc. |
| Conversation Reporting |
| Find out who is talking to whom on your network. Allows user to view conversation information being tranfered between hosts. Useful in determining not only what hosts are talking to each other the most, but what protocol they are talking in and specific information, about the conversations being transmitted between them. |
