NetCrunch simplifies bandwidth monitoring by allowing you to easily track and check bandwidth usage in your network using technologies like SNMP, NetFlow, IPFix, sFlow, and jFlow.
You probably know the situation when users complain about a slow network, and you need to find the root of the problem quickly. So, is it an application, a server, or the network? This question can only be answered with proper insight into the network performance.
NetCrunch gives you an excellent view of your network so you can quickly determine which device should be blamed for the slowdown.
Bandwidth monitoring is a method of measuring the actual bandwidth available on the network system. Bandwidth monitoring tools can display real-time data, such as download and upload speeds, and help counter network stress.
Depending on the network devices, you can shape the traffic by allocating separate bandwidth for the different traffic types. This requires more than just knowing the overall volume - you also need to know the traffic structure to plan accordingly.
Essential bandwidth monitoring starts with monitoring traffic on the switch ports. This method gives you a good overview of volume but little information about the traffic structure.
To learn more, you can get an insight into bandwidth analysis with technologies such as NetFlow, jFlow, sFlow, or NBAR, where routers send flow packets showing the traffic structure, which reflects bandwidth usage.
