IPFIX Monitoring and Network Traffic Intelligence

RouteMon provides IPFIX monitoring and network traffic analytics to help network teams understand how traffic is distributed across the network, identify significant traffic shifts and gain greater visibility into changing traffic behaviour.

The traffic challenge

Understand how traffic is movingacross your network

Network routing can change how traffic flows across links, peers and upstream paths.

RouteMon adds traffic intelligence to network operations by helping teams understand where traffic is moving, how distribution changes and whether unusual traffic behaviour requires investigation.

With IPFIX monitoring and network flow analytics, operations teams gain additional context beyond traditional utilization monitoring.

IPFIX flow viewLive distribution
  • 01Where is traffic being carried?
  • 02Has traffic shifted significantly?
  • 03Which network paths are carrying more or less traffic?
  • 04Are traffic patterns changing during an incident?
  • 05Which destinations or services are contributing to the change?
IPFIX monitoring

Greater networktraffic visibility

Use flow information as operational context during network analysis and troubleshooting.

  • IPFIX 01Flow

    Traffic distribution

    Understand how traffic is distributed across the network.

  • IPFIX 02Flow

    Traffic movement

    Identify significant changes in where traffic is being carried.

  • IPFIX 03Flow

    Traffic trends

    Observe changing traffic patterns over time.

  • IPFIX 04Flow

    Utilization context

    Understand where traffic volume is increasing or decreasing.

  • IPFIX 05Flow

    Destination behaviour

    Analyze traffic associated with important destinations and services.

Traffic correlation

Move beyondraw flow data

The operational value of flow data comes from understanding what it means during an incident. RouteMon helps teams identify meaningful traffic changes and focus on conditions requiring investigation.

  • Insight 01

    Abnormal traffic shifts

    Identify sudden increases, decreases and movement between network paths.

  • Insight 02

    Changing distribution

    Compare upstream traffic distribution and unexpected traffic concentration.

  • Insight 03

    Incident context

    Observe traffic and utilization behaviour during network events.

  • Insight 04

    Destination changes

    Understand high-volume destinations and significant destination-level changes.

How it works

From IPFIX monitoring totraffic intelligence

RouteMon extends IPFIX monitoring beyond basic traffic collection.

  1. 01

    Traffic distribution

    See where traffic is moving.

  2. 02

    Traffic changes

    Understand how network traffic behaviour is changing.

  3. 03

    Network utilization

    See where traffic volumes are increasing or decreasing.

  4. 04

    Operational context

    Determine whether significant traffic changes require investigation.

  5. 05

    Service impact

    Understand whether changing network conditions are associated with service degradation.

Operational benefits

Why network teams use RouteMonfor traffic intelligence

01

Greater traffic visibility

Understand how traffic is distributed and changing across the network.

02

Faster traffic analysis

Identify important changes without manually reviewing large volumes of raw flow information.

03

Better incident context

Use traffic behaviour as additional evidence during network investigations.

04

Improved ISP traffic analytics

Give service-provider teams stronger visibility across complex network environments.

05

Unified network intelligence

Use traffic analytics alongside routing intelligence, service assurance and incident investigation.
