SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA) allows the monitoring of your network traffic flow records, discovery of traffic patterns, and avoidance of bandwidth hogs. NTA is an add-on to SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor (NPM) that boosts your network traffic analysis capabilities. Analyze network traffic patterns over months, days, or minutes by drilling down into any network element. Measure the effectiveness of pre- and post-policy traffic levels per class map to determine if QoS policies are working as planned. Create, schedule, and deliver in-depth network traffic analysis and bandwidth reports with just a few clicks.

• Monitor Cisco NetFlow, Juniper J-Flow, sFlow, Huawei NetStream, and industry standard IPFIX flow data, and identify which applications and protocols are consuming the most bandwidth.
• Set alerts to be notified if application traffic suddenly increases, decreases, or disappears completely from a network device.
• Collect traffic data, correlate it into a useable format, and present it to network administrators in a web-based interface for monitoring network traffic.
• If your business relies on VoIP, e-commerce, or other cloud-based applications, NTA will confirm that prioritized traffic passes smoothly through the network.
• TCP/UDP monitoring of port 0 traffic quickly identifies intrusive traffic.
• Review historical data to identify peak bandwidth usage and adjust policies for better management.
• Identify which applications and categories consume the most bandwidth for better network traffic visibility with Cisco NBAR2 support.
• Monitor Wireless LAN Controller traffic to keep tabs on applications and clients utilizing bandwidth on your wireless network.
