1. Application Protocol - Network Link Utilization Capability: Identify network usage by aggregating application protocol traffic as collected by a traffic flow collector Trending and reporting of application traffic utilization for selected links or circuits Analysis is based on the implementation and enablement of proprietary vendor specific supported features and functionality Flow Exporters: Netflow, J-Flow, S-Flow, CFlowD, App-Flow, IPFIX Vendors In order: Cisco, Juniper, Allied Telesis, Alcatel, Ericsson, Citrix

3. Application Protocol - Network Link Utilization (Cont.) Default NetFlow report is per device flow - left diagram To establish peer peer end node traffic utilization reports, flows must be manually defined (see next slide) Available reports are: Traffic / Application Overview Protocol Distribution TopN Talkers/Hosts/Receivers TopN Conversations TopN Ports and TopN Applications

4. Application Protocol - Network Link Utilization (Cont.)

6. A flow is defined as a unidirectional sequence of packets that all share the following 7 values: Ingress interface (SNMP ifIndex) Source IP address Destination IP address IP protocol Source port for UDP or TCP, 0 for other protocols Destination port for UDP or TCP, type and code for ICMP, or 0 for other protocols IP Type of Service In the diagram that follows there are no manually defined flows

9. Application Traffic Network Segmentation Capability: Discover and map inter-relationships of application infrastructure components Isolate application performance metrics to well defined network segments and network flow paths Aggregate analysis of disparate application technologies and align application components with business services Baseline, trend, report and alert on aggregate application performance Correlate performance metrics across multi-tiered application architectures
