Do you find yourself asking…
What is NetFlow and how does it work?
NetFlow is a network protocol used to monitor the flow of traffic over the network. By analyzing NetFlow data, you can get a picture of how network traffic flows across your network, including source, destination, congestion points, and volume. Using a NetFlow monitoring solution can help you analyze flow records to understand and optimize traffic within the network, so you don’t spend money on additional bandwidth that is not needed.
How can I see what is using the bandwidth on my network?
NetFlow capture tools help you track application traffic and characterize the NetFlow data received. Discover which applications or users are responsible for creating bottlenecks or consuming the most bandwidth. NTA enables you to set alerts for top talkers on your network, and you can use this information to minimize the impact of their usage over time.
How do I help improve network analysis?
Network flow analysis tools enable you to capture data from network traffic and gain visibility into the applications, devices, or users consuming network bandwidth. NTA will translate this data into charts and tables to help you understand exactly how your network is being used, by whom, and for what purpose.
How do I visualize my network’s Wi-Fi traffic?
SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer includes wireless network traffic analysis to identify specific endpoints or applications using your wireless bandwidth. View any element’s traffic to investigate excessive bandwidth utilization or unexpected application traffic to prevent recurring bandwidth issues.
How can I see how bandwidth is being consumed?
NTA allows you to report on current and historical network traffic data, so you can detect trends in bandwidth usage and adjust policies for better management. Build and customize reports and alerts to help you identify which users, applications, and protocols are consuming the most bandwidth.
How can I perform in-depth network traffic analysis?
With flow monitoring from NTA, you can easily monitor which specific endpoints and applications are generating high volumes of network traffic and creating bottlenecks. NetFlow Traffic Analyzer can help you identify traffic arriving from designated ports, source IPs, destination IPs, and protocols to spot potential problems quickly.
How can I control my network bandwidth?
By understanding how your network bandwidth is being used, you can optimize your network traffic patterns and adjust policies to thwart bandwidth abusers. By identifying which applications and users are consuming too much network bandwidth, admins can make changes to improve bandwidth optimizations, so you aren’t spending money on bandwidth that isn’t needed.
