Back in the 1990s, NetFlow was introduced on Cisco routers as a means to collect information about IP network traffic as it enters or exits an interface. Since then, network flows have been one of the best ways to gain insight into traffic. Source IP address. Destination IP address.

Latency is not a new problem in networking. Not as difficult as time travel, but it’s difficult enough so that for 30+ years IT professionals have tried to skirt the issue by adding more bandwidth between locations or by rolling out faster routers and switches. Fast forward to today, most networks enjoy five nines (99.999%) of uptime.
