How to Monitor Network Speed with Obkio Network Monitoring When monitoring network performance, the metric that we most commonly hear about is Speed. But in the network world as in life, speed isn't everything, quality matters too. It’s important to measure network speed with an end-to-end Network Monitoring solution.

Network Congestion, similar to road congestion, occurs when your network cannot adequately handle the traffic flowing through it. While network congestion is usually temporary, it can cause annoying network problems that can affect performance and can be a sign of a larger issue in your network. That's why you need an end-to-end monitoring tool to help you proactively detect network congestion. Obkio Network Monitoring continuously monitors end-to-end network performance from your local network (LAN, VPN), as well as third-party networks (WAN, ISP, and Internet Peering).

With many employees now working remotely, IT teams have had to change the way they manage their networks and services. Intermittent network issues are hard to troubleshoot and more so with remote users working from home. Many of our customers have used Obkio to identify and troubleshoot network issues for their remote employees working from home. From working with these customers, we’ve encountered a lot of similar issues that remote employees often encounter.

To truly see the performance & promise of your SD-WAN network, you need to monitor: How to Monitor SD-WAN Networks With the increasing use of cloud-based apps, businesses are more reliant than ever on the Internet to deliver WAN traffic. So they're migrating from MPLS networks to hybrid WAN architectures and SD-WAN technology. But many businesses lack visibility of their SD-WAN network. So here's how to achieve the visibility you need to monitor your SD-WAN service.

Many Internet problems are intermittent which means that they appear in your network for a short time, and then reappear when you least expect them to. So you need the right tools to diagnose Internet problems. Choose a Network Monitoring Tool Obkio continuously monitors end-to-end network performance with synthetic traffic using Network Monitoring Agents. Monitoring Agents monitor network performance from the source up to the destination to identify network issues, diagnose connection problems, and collect information to help you troubleshoot.

Latency is one of the core network metrics that you should be measuring when monitoring your network performance. Latency refers to the round-trip measure of time it takes for data to reach its destination across a network. Consistent delays or odd spikes in time when measuring latency are signs of major performance issues in your network. The most accurate way to measure Latency is by using a Network Monitoring Software, like Obkio.

Jitter is one of the core network metrics that you should be measuring when monitoring your network performance. Jitter is your network's biggest enemy when using UC and real-time apps like IP telephony, video conferencing, and virtual desktop infrastructure. The most accurate way to measure Jitter is by using a Network Monitoring Software, like Obkio. For example: The amount of jitter displayed over an aggregated period of 1h is the worst median jitter of all the small 1-min periods within that hour.
