Description

Focusing solely on latency or bandwidth use often falls short of what is necessary for effective network management. Engaging in network stress testing reveals the potential impact that sudden spikes in packet volume can have on the performance of network devices. The WAN Killer tool available in Engineer’s Toolset acts as a network stress testing utility by generating and dispatching packets, which helps to illustrate how devices might respond to unexpected or severe increases in traffic. Insights gained from these stress tests can guide you in fortifying your infrastructure before serious problems arise. By simulating network traffic, you adopt a proactive stance toward network performance management, which is particularly beneficial when preparing to deploy a new application across your network. Additionally, you can utilize simulated traffic to evaluate whether your application's data receives the necessary prioritization. If deficiencies are identified, you can address them to ensure that you maintain the highest quality of service possible. This proactive approach not only enhances reliability but also ensures a seamless user experience during critical operations.

Description

ntopng, the next generation of the original Ntop, is a network traffic probe that monitors network use. ntopng is built on libpcap/PF_RING. It can be used on any Unix platform, MacOS, and Windows. Long-term reports can be produced for various network metrics, including throughput and L7 protocol protocols. Live throughput, application and network latencies, Round Trip Time, TTP, TCP statistics (retransmissions and out-of-order, packet lost, and packets transmitted), can be monitored and reported. Use nDPI and ntop Deep Packet Inspection technology to discover Layer-7 protocols (Facebook.com, YouTube.com, BitTorrent. Behavioral traffic analysis such as lateral movements or periodic traffic detection.
