the key features:
-
Real-Time Traffic Monitoring Tracks network traffic in real time. Displays bandwidth usage and connected devices. Identifies high-traffic users or applications.
-
Packet Analysis Captures and inspects individual data packets. Provides detailed information about protocols, source/destination IPs, and ports. Helps in identifying anomalies or malicious traffic.
-
Protocol Analysis Breaks down traffic based on protocols (e.g., HTTP, FTP, DNS). Identifies protocol-specific issues or unusual usage.
-
Bandwidth Utilization Monitoring Shows bandwidth usage per device or application. Helps in identifying bottlenecks or overused links.
-
Network Visualization Graphical representations of traffic patterns and flows. Topology maps showing device connectivity and traffic paths.
-
Alerts and Notifications Sends alerts based on predefined thresholds for bandwidth, packet loss, or unusual activity. Helps in proactive issue resolution.
-
Historical Data Analysis Stores traffic data for long-term analysis. Helps in trend analysis, capacity planning, and auditing.
-
Application Performance Monitoring Monitors application-level traffic. Identifies performance issues or unauthorized applications.
-
Security Features Detects and reports suspicious or malicious activities. Supports integration with intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS).
-
Device and User Identification Identifies devices and users contributing to network traffic. Helps in implementing user-specific policies.
-
Customizable Dashboards and Reports Allows users to create custom views of network metrics. Provides detailed and summarized reports for stakeholders.
-
Multi-Platform Support Supports various network environments, including wired, wireless, and cloud networks.
-
Scalability Handles growing network sizes without degradation in performance. Supports monitoring for both small and large-scale networks.
-
Anomaly Detection and Behavior Analysis Identifies unusual patterns that may indicate issues like DDoS attacks or network misconfigurations. Uses machine learning in advanced tools to predict potential problems.
-
Integration with Other Tools Works with network management systems, firewalls, and log analyzers. Allows automation of responses to detected issues.
