SNMP
© WildPackets, Inc.#wp_networkperformance Network Visibility: The Key to Troubleshooting Networks
SNMP
• Best used to identify and describe system
configuration
• Monitor network-attached devices for high-level
conditions
‒ Up/Down
‒ Total traffic (bytes, packets)
‒ Number of users
• Typically polling-based – heavy bandwidth impact
• Typically 5 minute granularity
• Trouble-shooting/root cause analysis not possible
www.wildpackets.com© WildPackets, Inc.
Log Files
© WildPackets, Inc.#wp_networkperformance Network Visibility: The Key to Troubleshooting Networks
Log Files – Performance Monitoring and
Network Troubleshooting
• The most popular choice per recent EMA survey:
http://research.enterprisemanagement.com/network-
management-megatrends2014-webinar.html
• Provide a very wide range of data and information
‒ Server health
‒ Network, application performance
‒ Security events
• Collection, management, analysis quickly improving
• Strong indication of problems and their source, but
not the root cause or the extent

Flow-based
© WildPackets, Inc.#wp_networkperformance Network Visibility: The Key to Troubleshooting Networks
"Go With the Flow"
• Flows, or flow records, are the default element used
in centralized network monitoring
• A “flow” is a sequence of packets that has the
following seven identical characteristics:
‒ Source IP address
‒ Destination IP address
‒ Source port
‒ Destination port
‒ Layer 3 protocol type
‒ TOS byte
‒ Input logical interface
• By implication, a flow is unidirectional
© WildPackets, Inc.#wp_networkperformance Network Visibility: The Key to Troubleshooting Networks
Basic Flow Analysis
• Packets enter the switch or
router
• Packets sampled and flows
determined
• Flow records compiled and
exported to flow collector
• Flow records stored and
subsequently analyzed by
flow analysis software
• The most common
standards for flow records
include:
- NetFlow - sFlow
- IPFIX - JFlow

Packet-based
© WildPackets, Inc.#wp_networkperformance Network Visibility: The Key to Troubleshooting Networks
Packet-based
• Data generated by DPI systems
• Analysis of every packet AND payload
• Unrivaled info for each flow
• Layer 3 - 7
• 100% accurate
• Minimal network impact – 10’s of Kbps
• Monitor AND troubleshoot

Packet-based Flow Data

Breadth vs. Depth

© WildPackets, Inc.#wp_networkperformance Network Visibility: The Key to Troubleshooting Networks
From Monitoring to Troubleshooting
• High-level, aggregated view
of all network segments
‒ Monitor per campus, per
region, per country
• Wide range of network data
‒ NetFlow, sFlow, OmniFlow
• Web-based, customizable
network dashboards
• Flexible and detailed reports

Summary
• Flow records are NOT created equal
• OmniFlow analyzes packet headers AND payloads
• OmniFlow is NOT statistical - 100% accurate
• OmniFlow provides analysis for all network layers
• WatchPoint aggregates data from multiple OmniFlow
data streams
• When OmniFlow data isn’t available, WatchPoint also
aggregates both NetFlow and sFlow data for a
comprehensive network monitoring solution

When Depth Matters
30
© WildPackets, Inc.#wp_networkperformance Network Visibility: The Key to Troubleshooting Networks
Application vs. Network
© WildPackets, Inc.#wp_networkperformance Network Visibility: The Key to Troubleshooting Networks
Measuring Link Quality
• Compare simultaneous data from end to end
‒ A single point only tells you flow health
‒ Multiple points measure link quality
32
© WildPackets, Inc.#wp_networkperformance Network Visibility: The Key to Troubleshooting Networks
Determining Sources of Latency
• Comparative visualization of latency sources
‒ Allows quick latency troubleshooting
‒ Graph wait times by application and network
33
© WildPackets, Inc.#wp_networkperformance Network Visibility: The Key to Troubleshooting Networks
Quality of User Experience
• Capture directly from end-user PC
‒ See what the PC sees
‒ No active connection required: diagnose connectivity issues
• Test servers using end-user experience
‒ Client perspective measures how well service is delivering
‒ Capture from multiple different clients for global perspective
‒ Lightweight setup, no special equipment
• Remote troubleshooting
‒ IT helpdesk or vendor tech support
‒ Strong encryption: data isn’t exposed, even at rest
• Send the data, not an engineer!

  • 13. © WildPackets, Inc.#wp_networkperformance Network Visibility: The Key to Troubleshooting Networks SNMP • Best used to identify and describe system configuration • Monitor network-attached devices for high-level conditions ‒ Up/Down ‒ Total traffic (bytes, packets) ‒ Number of users • Typically polling-based – heavy bandwidth impact • Typically 5 minute granularity • Trouble-shooting/root cause analysis not possible
  • 15. © WildPackets, Inc.#wp_networkperformance Network Visibility: The Key to Troubleshooting Networks Log Files – Performance Monitoring and Network Troubleshooting • The most popular choice per recent EMA survey: http://research.enterprisemanagement.com/network- management-megatrends2014-webinar.html • Provide a very wide range of data and information ‒ Server health ‒ Network, application performance ‒ Security events • Collection, management, analysis quickly improving • Strong indication of problems and their source, but not the root cause or the extent 15

  • 18. © WildPackets, Inc.#wp_networkperformance Network Visibility: The Key to Troubleshooting Networks "Go With the Flow" • Flows, or flow records, are the default element used in centralized network monitoring • A “flow” is a sequence of packets that has the following seven identical characteristics: ‒ Source IP address ‒ Destination IP address ‒ Source port ‒ Destination port ‒ Layer 3 protocol type ‒ TOS byte ‒ Input logical interface • By implication, a flow is unidirectional
  • 19. © WildPackets, Inc.#wp_networkperformance Network Visibility: The Key to Troubleshooting Networks Basic Flow Analysis • Packets enter the switch or router • Packets sampled and flows determined • Flow records compiled and exported to flow collector • Flow records stored and subsequently analyzed by flow analysis software • The most common standards for flow records include: - NetFlow - sFlow - IPFIX - JFlow Source: Wikipedia
  • 20. © WildPackets, Inc.#wp_networkperformance Network Visibility: The Key to Troubleshooting Networks Common Flow-based Technologies Netflow IPFIX sFlow Jflow •Developed by Cisco •Proprietary •Transit traffic & terminated traffic •Detailed info for each flow •NO payloads •Sampling option not 100% accurate •Internet Protocol Flow Information eXchange •IETF standard •Based on NetFlow •Detailed info for each flow •NO payloads •RFC 3176 •Statistical time- based sampling •Higher speed networks •Less common than NetFlow •NO payloads •Sampled – not always 100% accurate •Developed by Juniper •Proprietary •Similar to NetFlow •Detailed info for each flow •NO payloads •Sampled per global rate – not 100% accurate Limited Troubleshooting/Root-cause Analysis

  • 34. © WildPackets, Inc.#wp_networkperformance Network Visibility: The Key to Troubleshooting Networks Quality of User Experience • Capture directly from end-user PC ‒ See what the PC sees ‒ No active connection required: diagnose connectivity issues • Test servers using end-user experience ‒ Client perspective measures how well service is delivering ‒ Capture from multiple different clients for global perspective ‒ Lightweight setup, no special equipment • Remote troubleshooting ‒ IT helpdesk or vendor tech support ‒ Strong encryption: data isn’t exposed, even at rest • Send the data, not an engineer! 34
