How to Detect Network Congestion | Obkio

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).

How to Detect Network Congestion

We’ve all been stuck in traffic congestion on the road at some point in our lives. Traffic congestion may happen when there’s too many cars on the road, when there’s an accident or a closed street. Network congestion isn’t too different from that - but instead of cars causing congestion, it’s a different type of traffic. That’s why, in this article, we’re running you through how to detect network congestion with Network Monitoring tools.

How to Troubleshoot Networks with Employees Working From Home | Obkio

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.

How to Monitor SD WAN Networks | Obkio

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.

Network Testing: How to Test Network Performance

Our networks are always changing and evolving. Network Testing for higher speeds, better application and network device performance, and after a new service deployment or migration, helps us understand the impact of changes on our network. In this article, we’re running you through how to test network performance using Network Testing and Monitoring tools.

How to Monitor SD-WAN Migrations

Monitoring the migration from MPLS to SD-WAN networks is one of the most common use cases for monitoring network performance. When taking on any new migration, it’s important to monitor network performance before, during, and after for complete network visibility. Keep reading to learn how to monitor SD-WAN migrations using Network Monitoring.
