"As networks continue to grow and the complexity of applications increase, managing the network and its multiple technologies whilst simultaneously maintaining maximum availability can be a daunting task."

How can a network manager be sure that the enterprise is operating at its optimum level today, and still plan for expansion to meet the future business requirements of the company?

Network Traffic Analysis LAN and WAN provides baseline traffic metrics for critical LAN segments and WAN circuits in your enterprise network. 3net’s Network Traffic Analysis service offering provides a set of comprehensive reports baselining activity and protocols, along with recommendations on how to improve network performance and growth. Network Traffic Analysis involves the collection, preparation and presentation of results in a variety of customised reports:

• Peak and Average Sustained Load - the utilisation of available bandwidth, indicating average sustained usage as well as peak usage
• Packet / Frame Size - the percentage of packets detected which fall into various size categories, based on your specific network environment or technology.
• Errors - the error rate as a percentage of total packets monitored at strategic points in the network. Again, errors reported vary depending on specific technology.
• Top Talkers / Conversations - packet or utilisation statistics for the most active transmitting and receiving stations, as well as the top conversation pairs
• Protocol Analysis & Breakdown - analysis of the various flavours of network traffic that are transiting the network shown as percentage figures

Resource Optimisation

The results from the above can be analysed and applied to the exact needs of the business in order to optimise the use of your IT infrastructure and expensive available bandwidth. 3net's Network Traffic Analysis service offering provides you with the following key benefits:
