The speed of a network is generally defined as throughput: how many megabits or gigabits your network can pump through its pipes in the course of a second. That's certainly important, but there's ...
Can users get network latency between any two servers at any time in large-scale data center networks? The collected latency data can then be used to address a series of challenges: telling if an ...
A large number of VoIP analysis tools rely on definitive but somewhat generic measurements- packet loss, latency and jitter, to name three. But now we are seeing tools that offer far more ...
High performance computing (HPC) requires an extremely high-powered network with ultra-low latency to move large files between HPC nodes quickly. IT and network operations (NetOps) teams in industries ...
IP geolocation has emerged as a cornerstone technology supporting a multitude of Internet applications, from content delivery and fraud prevention to regulatory compliance and enhanced user ...
A few months ago, I wrote about Tobias Oetiker’s MRTG and RRDTool services — which are really leading the charge in collecting / visualizing network monitoring data. Another tool by Oetiker and his ...
In the test and measurement industry, two distinct camps exist: those who favor vector network analyzers (VNA) and those who favor time domain reflectometers (TDR). Each camp relies heavily upon its ...
Measure Your Network Latency Before It Becomes a Problem Latency can be a problem in networks, especially if there's a cloud service involved. You may not be able to eliminate it, but here's how you ...
