Traffic analysis at the touch of a button
The OptiView Series III provides real-time statistics for traffic on the wire which enables the user to understand how network resources are being used and increase user satisfaction with faster response times for networked applications.
Quickly and easily identify top talkers, multicasters and broadcasters or select top conversations to determine which hosts may be over utilizing resource bandwidth. Determine who is using server bandwidth by viewing top conversations to a single host.
Analyze protocol mix to identify top protocols being used and also discover unwanted and custom protocols and see which protocols are being used by each host.
Application traffic analysis
Automatically discover all protocols and sub protocols from the MAC layer to the application layer. This enables IT staff to identify applications utilizing link bandwidth including those that use dynamically assigned port numbers to see and validate the impact of applications on bandwidth usage and also identify to use of illicit applications.
Perform application analysis in real-time on Gigabit links and determine the specific endpoints (server, host) using that application. Plus, perform a layer 3 or layer 2 trace route to identify the switch or router interface to which the endpoint is connected for each application. Differentiate between specific audio, video, image, and data applications, and show the level of bandwidth usage of each.
Speed up troubleshooting application and network performance issues by automatically validating that network services such as DHCP, DNS and 802.1X are available and operating correctly, ensuring that server and application connectivity is accessible by opening specific TCP IPv4 and IPv6 ports on servers and reporting the round trip time as a combination of network latency and server connection set up time. Server resource utilization may also be viewed.
