Network traffic analysis

As soon as NetFlow data is received, graphs are generated showing details on incoming and outgoing traffic on the link for the last 10 minutes in real time. From the NetFlow Analyzer Dashboard, you can identify which interface, applications, users, ports and protocols are consuming the most bandwidth. Our network traffic analyzer tool's NetFlow Analyzer Dashboard allows you to add new widgets and customize them so that you can look at the top-priority information that you want to focus on in your network.

You can easily carry out network traffic analysis with bandwidth reports using NetFlow Analyzer. The customizable reports display traffic statistics for sources like hosts, applications, and conversations.

In addition to consolidated reports, you can generate historical and predict future traffic data with forecast reports, the traffic trends using Capacity Planning reports, and make changes to the bandwidth management strategies using the Network Configuration Manager (NCM) add-on. Our network traffic analysis software also gives you the end-to-end view on application usage, and protocol usage with other utilization trends.

Incoming and outgoing network traffic is analyzed to find the top applications, and IP source, and IP destination-generating traffic on the network. From here, you can drill down to see the top hosts and conversations for each application listed.

NetFlow Analyzer, the network traffic analysis tool, has a pre-defined algorithm that detects any suspicious activity, and groups it as an attack. You can analyze the network traffic for unusual behavior and check if the activity is authentic or malicious.

You can also identify security issues easily with our network traffic analysis software's Advanced Security Analytics Module (ASAM). You can follow any unusual behavior on your network closely and our network traffic analyzer categorizes the problem as malformed TCP packets, invalid TOS flows, invalid Src-Dest flows, or others. You can also assign a severity class to prioritize when actions should be completed.

Our network traffic analysis tool helps you receive immediate insights on events when the bandwidth usage is exceeding the threshold with real time alerts and aggregated alerts. Set a network performance baseline for a specific criteria like utilization, speed, or volume for a source with time filters, and get immediate notifications as and when the threshold is violated.

With our network traffic analysis software's QoS traffic shaping, you can dictate which application can use your network bandwidth. Analyze network traffic patterns used by various applications, and prioritize business-critical applications over bandwidth hogging applications like video streaming, games and or social media for seamless productivity with suitable QoS policies.

Besides applying policies, you can evaluate the effectiveness of applied policies with Class Based QoS monitoring and reporting. With the pre-policy and post-policy traffic statistics shown in the NTA tool, you can adjust your bandwidth monitoring strategies to your requirements.

You can leverage our network traffic analyzer (NTA) tool to monitor the traffic consumed by applications that use dynamic ports. With Cisco NBAR technology, your traffic analysis can become more extensive with insights about Layer 7 application traffic. You can checkout how much traffic is being consumed by applications such as Skype, Ping or Facebook, etc., and optimize your network usage for business-critical applications alone.
