The Packet Scoop

We recently released PacketTrap NetFlow Analysis, a detailed and robust reporting solution that provides a granular inspection of data as it traverses your network. By leveraging the Cisco NetFlow protocol (supported by multiple vendors), and supporting sFlow® (HP ProCurve) and J-Flow (Juniper), the PacketTrap Traffic Analyzer lets you know the type of data clogging your bandwidth, who is consuming it, and the domains generating the data. By collecting this data you will instantly be able to determine which users and IP addresses you need to keep an eye on, and ensure that applications are not dragging down your network bandwidth.

Advantages of PacketTrap Traffic Analyzer

PacketTrap Traffic Analyzer operates as a first-line defense because it detects abnormal network activity as it occurs. For example, PacketTrap Analyzer will detect when an end user is consuming excessive bandwidth from YouTube, Apple iTunes, and other bandwidth hoggers. With this information in real time, you’ll be able to quickly stop the problem and limit the productivity impact to your users.

Application performance immediately affects productivity and hence the bottom-line. PacketTrap Traffic Analyzer can identify which applications are active on the network and provide usage statistics in the form of charts and graphs on those applications.
