Several Advantages of Cisco NetFlow
Rapid increase of IP networks has developed curiosity in new business software and
services. These innovative services have consequence in swells in demand for network
bandwidth, performance, and expected quality of services. At the same time, the
requirement has appeared for measurement technology to support this development by
effectively offering the information needed to trace network and application resource
use. Cisco's NetFlow protocol offers solutions for each of these difficulties.
NetFlow traditionally allows several crucial customer applications
comprising:
Network monitoring – NetFlow data
allows real time network monitoring
abilities. Flow-based analysis methods
may be employed to envisage traffic
patterns concerned with individual
switches and routers and also on a
network-wide basis to offer hands-on
problem finding, professional
troubleshooting, and quick problem
resolution.
Network planning – NetFlow can be employed to detain data for a long period creating
the chance to track and expect network expansion and plan improvements to improve
the total of routing tools, ports, or bandwidth interfaces. NetFlow aids to lessen the total
expense of network operations while exploiting network performance, competence, and
dependability. NetFlow distinguishes unessential WAN traffic, authenticates bandwidth
and Quality of Service and enables the examination of new network software. Most
importantly NetFlow will offer you helpful information to decrease the expense of running
your network.
Security analysis – NetFlow detects and categorizes DDOS attacks, worms and viruses in
real-time. Modifications in Network performance indicate irregularities that are evidently
displayed in NetFlow data. The data is a helpful forensic tool to comprehend and rerun the
history of security occurrences.
Accounting or billing – NetFlow data offers fine detailed metering for extremely flexible and
comprehensive resource deployment accounting. Service suppliers may use the information
for billing depend on time-of-day, bandwidth use, application use, service quality, etc.
enterprise consumers may use information for cost distribution for resource consumption.
NetFlow Data warehousing & data mining – NetFlow data can be stored for afterward
recovery and examination in support of hands-on marketing and consumer service
programs. Most importantly NetFlow data offers Market Researchers access to the
“who,” “what,” “where,” and “how long” info appropriate to venture and service
suppliers.
User monitoring & profiling – NetFlow data allows network engineers to get thorough
understanding of consumer or user deployment of network and application resources.
This info then may be used to effectively plan and distribute access, backbone and
application resources and also to spot and solve possible security and rule
infringements.
