An internal routing scheme so that every router in a given AS knows how to get to every other router and destination within the same AS. One or multiple border routers. This peering connection is used by border routers in one AS to “advertise” routes to border routers in a different AS (more on this below).

a sequence of related packets) as they traverse routers, switches, load balancers, ADCs, network visibility switches, and other devices. In networking terms, a “flow” is a unidirectional set of packets sharing common attributes such as source and destination IP, source and destination ports, IP protocol, and type of service.

Historically, however, most of the testing, opinion, and coverage has been based on enterprise use cases and fairly low-bandwidth assumptions. In this post we’ll take a new look, focusing instead on use cases and bandwidths that are more representative of — and relevant to — large internet edge and datacenter operations.

Using a network monitoring tool that focuses on infrastructure devices, you can easily identify bandwidth bottlenecks. But output a quick report on the top 10 bandwidth users in their environment—and why they’re the top 10—and suddenly you’re talking their language. Finding the answers—fast. They get it. The bottom line.

billed on an opex model consumption-based, via a metered metric (such as ports, bandwidth or users), (not based on network devices/appliances). NaaS offerings may include elements such as network switches, routers, gateways and firewalls. Personally, I find the focus on the appliance form factor a reflection of legacy thinking.

sFlow, which has been available in switches and routers since 2001, is the brainchild of InMon Corporation, whose continued control over the protocol is both benevolent and absolute. Also, to cut down on CPU and network bandwidth, flows are usually only “exported” on average every 10 seconds to a few minutes. The sFlow difference.

This type of ISP offers internet access plans to residential subscribers in markets that can be so competitive that the list price for a plan is often dangerously close to the cost of the bandwidth to serve content to the subscribers, and the margins are paper thin. The usual place for this is either: Router configuration repositories.

This allows us to scale bandwidth and improve network performance characteristics like latency and loss as our clients’ business grow. Kentik also monitors router and switch ports for utilization. Alarms are generated when ports reach a certain % utilization that indicates imminent congestion and customer impact.

With costs of bandwidth varying from PNI (Private Network Interconnect) to Transit, it’s typically useful to look at segmentation for traffic — either inbound or outbound, depending on whether you are a content provider, carrier, or ISP — to each country of interest.

How do you figure out when your links, routers, switches, firewalls, and other network infrastructure are going to run out of capacity? PoP or router group) we have defined in Kentik Detect. For enterprises, this could be useful for seeing if there is a misconfiguration or misuse that might be causing the bandwidth consumption.
