RE: Tools: Network Performance/Optimization/Service Monitoring

Thank You all for replying to my query. I have downloaded SolarWinds and will
try to run some numbers in my lab.

One more thing I need to understand is that if there are any data trending
tools out there?

Why do we need these tools? Are they kind of Capacity Management tools?

fluke tool (renamed recently) does not only do netflow but also used for
performance, voice quality and other some other things. Worth looking at. It
all depends on what you want to measure or monitor.

This is an advanced, elegant tool, but is priced accordingly.

scanner process can briefly peg a CPU, which radically skews your results.
Some of the newer hardware requires more advanced licensing for IP SLA, but
most of the older stuff has it included.
