NetFlow and sFlow are network monitoring technologies that provide insights into network traffic and performance:
NetFlow and sFlow gather data about network traffic flows, including source and destination IP addresses, ports, and protocols.
Flow sampling techniques can be used by NetFlow and sFlow to capture representative data while reducing resource overhead.
These technologies offer visibility into traffic patterns, top talkers, and application usage across the network.
NetFlow and sFlow help monitor network performance by tracking latency, packet loss, and bandwidth utilization.
Analyzing traffic patterns with NetFlow and sFlow can aid in identifying anomalies, security threats, and unauthorized activities.
NetFlow and sFlow assist in capacity planning by providing data on peak usage periods and resource demands.
These technologies help pinpoint network issues, bottlenecks, and areas of congestion for effective troubleshooting.
