Track the number of failed interface connections, which can indicate external attacks on your network and other rogue activity directed at your network.Ensure critical business applications get the bandwidth they need.Plan for spikes in usage to avoid dropped packages or delays.Track and resolve network traffic or congestion problems using automatic classification of traffic by type and protocol in real-time.Verify billing from bandwidth service providers with 95th percentile reporting.Automatically discover and configure flow sources.Group flow sources and specific interfaces to focus directly on business critical systems and data flows.Verify network QoS policies required to support applications like VoIP using TOS reports.For example, YouTube™ video streaming by multiple users may cause network congestion and slow down other critical business applications Display top talkers (by IP address), so you can determine exactly which hosts (authorized or unauthorized) are consuming critical bandwidth.Determine exactly which users, applications or hosts are consuming network bandwidth.Understand how your network is being used and by whom.Backup and restoration of flow databaseīenefits: How Flow Monitor Helps Ensure Network PerformanceĪs a network manager, how much time do you spend discovering and mapping your network, monitoring applications in both physical and virtualized infrastructure? Did you know that most of the network slowdowns can be identified and resolved by simply monitoring and analyzing your network traffic and bandwidth utilization? With Flow Monitor you can:.Support for non-standard ports and proprietary protocols.Configuration and management of flow data retention policies.


Automatic identification of high traffic flows to un-monitored ports and highlighting of those ports as candidates for monitoring.Group flow data by source or port, so that flows can be mapped to business structures, applications and organizations.Group flow data by IP addresses by domain, TLD or country.Conduct traffic identification and analysis for LAN and WAN for Quality of Service through ToS or DSCP.

Pinpoint internal and external traffic sources and destinations.Classify, filter and report on flow sources based on ASN (BGP Routing).Identification of traffic destination by group, domain, top level domain (TLD) and country.Identification of traffic sources (top talkers) and destinations.Identification of traffic flow patterns through the network in real-time.Automatic classification of traffic by type and protocol in real-time, including NBAR traffic.Extensive support for Cisco Nexus (virtual networks).Extensive support for switches, wireless networks and routers from Cisco, Juniper, Meru, Ruckus, Foundry, Extreme, Enterasys and Packeteer.Support for Cisco’s NetFlow v1, v5, v9 sFlow v5 Juniper Network’s J-Flow format, standard IPFIX and Cisco NSEL (Network Security Event Logging) formats.Features & Benefits: Features: Flow Monitoring Basics
